#1 Burning Software

I'm successful in burning a DVD using , but StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_TrackAtOnceFromTree, but it behaves very strangely in DVD players.

I'm authoring the DVD with FoxBurner's DVDImager add-on. For a two-title disc, it generates these files:

VIDEO_TS.BUP, ....IFO, and ....VOB
VTS_01_0.BUP
VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_01_1.VOB
VTS_02_0.BUP
VTS_02_0.IFO
VTS_02_1.VOB

There is one button on the main menu for each title.

In one DVD player, clicking the first button returns immediately to the main menu, and clicking the second plays the corresponding video, although fast-forward is disabled and returning from either Pause or Stop returns to the main menu.

In another DVD player, clicking either button returns immediately tothe main menu.

In Windows Media Player, the DVD plays properly.

I don't add the various files to the StarBurn tree in any particular order. Is this a possible source of the problem?

Thanks,
Elly

1) Use automatic StarBurn_DVDVideo_Create(...) API calls. StarBurn does automagically VOB/IFO/BUP sorting in the right order.

2) If you still want to do everything manually - take a look at the samples. They have DVD formatting code commented like this:

/*

Files must be aligned like this:

/VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.IFO
/VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.VOB
/VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.BUP
/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.IFO
/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.VOB
: :
/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_9.VOB
/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.BUP
: :
/VIDEO_TS/VTS_99_0.BUP

*/

Some time after my post, I found that the answer is Yes, the sequence does matter.

Thanks for the suggestion about StarBurn_DVDVideo_Create(...). I've already published my app, but perhaps I can streamline the code this way.

I'd have replied before perhaps, but I wasn't notified of your post.

It's recommended to use _Create(...) as it will place the files in the right order automatically.
