Hi All.... reciently I had problems getting my 2 hour program to fit on my memorex dual disc, and found the answer here. Now I've another problem. When I burn to disc, I'm not getting my produced program but a number of seperate files, each a bit of the video, but not the full movie that will play in my DVD player.

This movie is a 2 hour tour of our local History Museum by one of our seniors who's grandfather was one of the founders of the city. We want it to play at the museum.

I've no problem burning the movie on regular size dvd's but only if I divide the program into two parts, one part to each dvd. We're hoping to get it onto one disc, but it's just not working. I've tried burning it twice and both times got the same thing. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. My DVD player says "Can't read this disc" and when I view the DVD on my computer I don't see the movie title at all, but rather a bunch of files (below), none of which is the full movie...

VTS_01_4 6/10/2017 4:05AM VOB File 287,256KB

Anyone have any idea why I can't simply burn the produced movie as a whole to the Memorex DVD+R 8x / 8.5GB/ 240mn disc so it will play on my DVD player?

Thanks for any help,

You are going to need to supply more information for users to be able to help you. Using math, it looks like 3.3GB total in your 8.5GB dual layer dvd. That points to your using smart fit and not HQ intentionally. You probably should have burn the disc at a lower than 8x speed. Posting a screenshot of your Create disc/2D disc/final burn would help a lot here. You probably should burn to folder so that you don’t waste another DL disc. A disc folder would allow you to see if there any mistakes and if you can burn it to a single 4.7 GB disc thereby saving you money.

Double layer DVDs can be problematic in some machines.

How are you burning your video to disc? You seem familiar with the process but it appears to me as if you are burning the video as DATA and not as a DVD video-compliant disc, so you see the individual parts that make up a playable DVD as data. Are you using Power2Go, or another burning software? Are you going straight from your PD timeline to disc? HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

Thanks guys! I'm in and out today, so we'll work on this later today when I'm more in.

For now, I'm burning by first producing my timeline, then going to create disc in PD13, choosing 8.5 DVD (when I choose 4.7 it says disc isn't large enough), chosing Mpeg-2 1080 x 1920 and then previewing it (then take out the annoying music that it's automatically populated with and I always forget to remove) and then click burn in 2D, choosing burn and checking burn to folder. I've never used the folder after so don't know what it's all about, but I always choose it.) And then start the burn...

So that's how I do it... It's how I did my first 35 minute nature video and it works great. I am trying to do the same steps with this one. I'm sure the problems have something to do with the fact that this one is 2 hours long. The Museum is having a 100 yr celebration of the establishment of the "dirty dancing" type resort in 1917 that started our little city of Beautiful Bella Vista, AR, in 8 days from now, so I have until then to get the video completed.

And it would be nice if I dind't have to waste another disc...these double discts cost me 20.00 for 5 of them and I've already killed two... only 3 to go. ;

When I first put the DVD in, it asks how I want to use it and I always choose "as a DVD that can play in a DVD player) rather then a USB drive that can be used for data".

I do so hope my computer is not one that has trouble with double discs. The only option then would be to split this movie into two, and there's no good place to do that naturally...

See you later this afternoon or evening. Thanks again for trying to help. ;

Stop burning up disks while testing or experimenting.

In Create Disk, uncheck Burn Disk, Check Burn Folder. Folder will be writen to the folder listed in Preferences > File > Export Folder.

You can use any software DVD player to view the disk folder. VLC is free and can view the disk folder.

If you are using Windows 7, you can view the DVD Folder with Windows Media Player. Windows 10 does not have a DVD player unless you have installed one.

chosing Mpeg-2 1080 x 1920

Standard DVD is 720x480/576 not 1920x1080.
