#1 Burning Software

Hello,
I am a registered user of StarBurn DSK.
The bunrt DVD disk can be played on my PC,but can not played on my DVD players.
Here comes a list of the 4 DVD players which I have tried but all failed.
Sony – DVD & VHS tape combo.
Magnavox – DVD & VHS tape & TV combo.
Nortech – portable DVD player.
Panasonic recorder/players.


The video format is mpeg-2 and audio format is mp2
So many thanks for your help.

To proceed with your request we need to know such an information:

1) *Exact* device models. Not only brand name "Panasonic" or "Sony" but numbers behind them. Like "Panasonic DVD-RV31K".

2) We need to know did you use manual or automated DVD-Video FS generation sequence. In the other words did you use StarBurn_DVDVideo_Create(...) or older UDF-based API.

3) Know the name of your DVD-Video authoring application. AuthoringWare SDK, DVD Author etc.

4) Know are you using IFO patching or not.

5) Know are you using DVD padding if burning small compilations.

For 2), 4) and 5) StarBurn log is preferred.

Please provide missing information and we'll be happy to help you. Thanks!

Thanks for your promptly reply.
Here the information as required.Thanks again.

OK, so a) new DVD-Video b) have burner & device model c) patching is enabled. I'm still mising information about a) used (or not used) padding and b) authoring software name. If you'd manage to create a very small compilation (~20MB of so) failing to work - it will be just great! Thanks!

I am using starburn7.2.20 and the original code of VideoBurner.Thanks again.

VideoBurner sample does burn in multisession mode. If you did not check the source and did not read the comments about what you should have in the REALSE you have WRONG mode (multisession and padding OFF). That's why I'm asking for the log.

If I will not be able to 1) make sure you use right sequence 2) get sample compilation from you I'll not be able to help and find out what's wrong.

I have tried to close Multisession,but the burnt DVD still can not be played back on DVD player.
Please kindly take a look at the code below which I used to close Multisession.Thanks again.
m_ExceptionNumber =
StarBurn_CdvdBurnerGrabber_TrackAtOnceFromTree(
m_CdvdBurnerGrabber,
(char*)( &m_ExceptionText ),
sizeof( m_ExceptionText ),
&m_SystemError,
&m_CDBFailureInfo,
l_ISO9660JolietFileTree,
TRUE, // FALSE
l_TestWrite,
false,
WRITE_REPORT_DELAY_IN_SECONDS,
BUFFER_STATUS_REPORT_DELAY_IN_SECONDS
);

That's not gonna work in this way. If you've recorded a multisession disc it will have short lead-outs thus it's not compatible with the stand alone recordes. And this is probably fifth time I'm asking about complete log. As I don't even know are you burning DVD-Video FS or plain ISO ATM. Do you understand what I'm talking about?

OK,I will send the log later.
By the way,I am not clear what do you mean "DVD-Video FS or plain ISO ATM" ,thanks.
I am using the original code from the VideoBurner in the way below.
1.Generate the informaion for VIDEO_TS from MPDG file by using dvdauthor.
2.Burn specified data by using CDevice::BurnDVDVideo,refer the code of VideoBurner.
The problem is the burnt disk can be played on some DVD player,but the others failed,such as Panasonic DMR-EH55

New problem
I have burnt a DVD disc with music(.mp3) embedded,when I play the DVD disc on my PC,I can hear the sound,but when I play the disc on my DVD player,there is no sound!!

1) You did not send any logs so I have no clue about what file system you use to compile your DVD. Some guys tend to use ISO9660 instead of the UDF/ISO9660 bridge thus making discs play on PC and not play on the stand-alone DVDs.

OK, VideoBurner does DVD-Video FS. So this one is not an issue

2) I can perfectly understand this. I've asked about the log and sample content

Do you have the same problem if you burn the disc with other burning app?

What does it mean "No sound". The disc is rejected by player, it does not accept MP3 format, play operation starts but w/o anything in the speakers?

P.S. Another problem = another thread. I've moved this question to another topic Thank you for understanding!

Here comes the log for your reference.Thanks again.
