Randall, Save yourself some time and grief and just burn the DVD video to a proper DVD-R, or transcode to SVCD (or possibly MVCD) to burn to a CD-R. Joliet are extensions to ISO9960 to allow Windows PC to read the file system as though it were a regular Windows disc. DVD-video disk MUST just UDF 1.02 (everything else is irrelevant). UDF is being considered as the replacement to ISO9660 as a general purpose CD/DVD file system. Adding extra fluff to he disc file descriptor has become common practice after 20+ years of DOS/WInodows/Mac/Unix/Linux format battles... CDs and DVDs have encoding that announce to the player what kind of disc it is and, thus, the player (i.e. firmware) may refuse to play the files if there is a mismatch. Once the home dvd player senses the disc, its not smart enough to play anything that doesn't fit its preprogrammed expectations. To play your CD video files "anywhere" you need to burn them as VCD or SVCD formats. DVD-Video must be burned to DVD or miniDVD discs. DVD players on computers just recognize the disc and pass the data on to the OS. That is why VLC etc play the video: it has the codecs to recognize the stream and doesn't care were the stream comes from. The region issue is DRM nonsense from M$ because their player is programmed to look for a DVD region code (USA is in Region 1). VLC ignores region codes. Note also, that some older home players will refuse to play region free DVD discs or any sort. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Disk_Format http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SVCD Have Fun, -Ed _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
