can not play in standalone

Hi Everyone can you please help? Ok the problem i am having is playing the film in my stand alone dvd player. I am running WinXP with no updates and the newest drivers i can download, also the only things on my HDD are smartripper v2.41, DVD2One v1.1.2 but have got the newest version of that and still no joy with it and Record Now Max and Nero 6.3.0.0 have tried both and i can not get them to work :mad: I have got a 40 gig HDD 7200rpm, 1 gig DDR Ram, Athlon XP 1700 processer and a Optorite DVD RW DD0201. Please can anyone help me out here i have gone over the 50 coasters mark now cheers for any help

First off, check your . Most of the problems we see that present like this, are caused by your media not working with your player, or burner. Make sure that your media is compatible with both your burner, and your standalone. From the page the above link takes you to, all of this is possible, just poke around until you figure it out. Have you opened your files in a media player before burning to make sure you're OK up to that point? Ouch on the coasters, man, that's gotta hurt and be frustrating. Hang in there! ammck55

Have u checked the player/media compatibility that ammck55 suggested? If u have a positive answer from there, we need to track your steps one by one to isolate the problem. 1st of all check that your files r playable in MP and a software dvd player before burning. 2nd describe briefly what r the procedural steps u r taking to produce and burn these vob files. 3d. There r posts that describe the files that should be present in a dvd in order for it to be compatible. Pls check that all the nessecary files r present. There was a case that dvd2one hadn't worked on the vts_02_0.vob and thus hadn't copy it to the target directory. Although the disk worked fine in the pc, my stabdalone couldn't recognise it. I am wonderingif this is your case too. Anyway don't worry we will isolate and fix this. U r in a doom9 forum. There is nothing we can't fix.

Hi thanks for your help upto now :) I have had a look and the DVDs i am using are compatable with both my DVD Writer and my standalone DVD player but i have not tried to play the ripped DVD on a software DVD player yet but will give it a go and let you know i know it plays with WinDVD 4 but not tried it in windows media player yet.

Ok i have had a look on the copied DVD and the vts_02_0 vob is on the disk but it will still not play in the standalone :( and it does play in wmp

1)What type of media are u using? ( + or - , manufacturer? ) 2) Whats the brand and model of ur dvd player?. 3) What burning speeds did u use for media?. :)

The example of vts_02_0.vob was just a case I faced once. Your situation may be another file of the structure. U can check if there r file pointer issues by loading video_ts.ifo in ifoedit and pressing the 'Get VTS Sectors' button. Ideally u shouldn't be prompted for a correction, if u do, u have find your problem, at least a big part of it. In the meantime a reply to Dublin-Raider's questions would help to eliminate or substantiate a few more failing factors.

we can fix those too! We just choose not to :) :rolleyes:

Dublin-Raider 1)What type of media are u using? ( + or - , manufacturer? ) 2) Whats the brand and model of ur dvd player?. 3) What burning speeds did u use for media?.
