I have just discovered that DVDA does not burn DVDs correctly. I have an LG 4040 DVD burner, a Panasonic player, a Denon all-in-one, and a Pioneer DVD recorder. I recently tried a DVD I created using the Burn facility in DVDAMS (and which previously had played ok in the Panny) on all these devices and found that it only worked on the Panasonic. It appeared as a blank disk in the computer (in the same DVD recorder I used to create it!). It did not matter whether I used DVD-R or DVD-RW (I haven't tried DVD+ yet but I don't really want to waste yet more disks, and the Pioneer records on DVD-). As an experiment I then used the VOB files that DVDA had prepared and burnt them to disks using a different burner (one from Magix). These disks play perfectly well in all four devices. From previous postings I've seen I expect them to be successful if I use Nero to do the burning. Clearly there is a problem with the way DVDA burns DVDs - or at least some incompatibility with certain drives? The fact that it played in the Panasonic (the oldest of the players) I think just shows how good the Panasonic is at handling out of spec DVDs. Has anyone come up with the definitive answer to this problem yet? I am happy to use something else to burn my disks but it is a bit irritating that I cannot do it from DVDA.
