There's a number of variables: Stand-alone DVD players are often quite tolerant of nonsense on discs, and also quite intolerant of other things. Stand-alone DVD recorders usually do not record in a standard DVD-Video manner. Computer burnt discs may be burnt incorrectly (wrong file system, multiple file systems with poor file naming choices in one of them, discs should contain upper-case AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS directories, with all upper-case filenames inside them, the first file to be played should be the first file actually written to the disc). Both stand-alone and computer burnt discs may create playback problems with multi-session recordings. Computers playing DVDs may mount discs incorrectly if they have multiple formats on them (Joliet shouldn't be used, ISO-9660 can be used, UDF should be used). -- (This PC runs FC4, my others FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
