Carl, I never burn to disk, only to folder. And there's no difficulty in seeing the videos on a computer. No special software is needed. I just click on the VIDEO_TS folder, then the VIDEO_TS.IFO file.
But that doesn't show me what a video will look like on a TV.
The reason I'm burning test disks is to see what the projects will really be looking like on a TV. It's the interlacing I was mostly concerned about when I wrote yesterday.
As you said in your previous reply,
"...You can only judge the quality of the DVD by playing it in a stand-alone player and TV set..."
Absolutely right. Hence all the drink coasters I've been making recently.
I don't have a way to plug a TV into my computer, by the way. I use 2 monitors, the space is confined etc--it would be beyond impractical to try balancing a set in here somewhere for this. And the DVD player is also part of the equation.
So, I have to burn test copies and try them on the home entertainment center.

You are wasting disks.
In the Create Disk Module, Uncheck burn disk, Check Burn Folder.
You will then create the disk structure without burning up disks.
Nobody needs 100 drink coasters!
There is software the will view the disk folder on your computer.
PowerDVD has that function.
I use a competitor's software that plays DVD folders and Blu-Ray folders.
Search for "TMT5" without quotes.
In Google it is probably the first hit.
