Had to reinstall Roxio 7 - After reinstalling I burned a DVD from a file that had been run through Sorenson Squeeze. The Finalize disk box was checked in the "burn dvd" control box. (If fact I thought the DVD wasn't finalized so I burned another DVD and found that I couldn't uncheck it.) DVD burned - runs fine on my PC using CINE player. Won't run on a standard DVD player (hooked up to TV). Menu comes up but I cannot click on the title to start the video. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

It's possible that the cuplrit is the player. For some reason high-end players don't like home-brew DVDs while el cheapo models play anything you feed into them
You could try making an image first on the hard drive (without using squeeze) as the software will automatically compress it itself (just set it to fit the blank size)
The fact that it plays on the PC suggests tho that the DVD is actually fine (or it wouldn't work)

If it ain't broke, fiddle with it until it breaks, then fiddle with it until you get it fixed

Thanks for the info. Sorry if I'm a bit dense. I tried to play this on 3 seperate DVD players - still can't click on the menu icon.
When you say "make an image first on the hard drive" are you talking about a video such as an .avi or QT reference file? My work flow is from the AVID I make a QTReference file, drag it into Squeeze make an mpeg2 with PCM audio - then pull that into Roxio. Make a menu and burn the disk. It goes through 6 steps then spits the dvd disk out. Again, I can click on the menu icon and get it to play on the PC.
I know the dvd must be "finalized" and that box is clicked in the Roxio wizard. I'm lost.
Thanks again.

Open MyDVD and import the avi.
Select 'fit to disc'
burn to disc image
Put in blank disc, double click the file you just made and let it do its stuff
It will shrink it to fit without having to use any third-party app

video DVDs are automatically finalized - there is nothing for you to check. What program from the suite are you using to burn the video DVD?

It sure did. This is from DVD Builder in EMC 7.5, but EMC 7 was the same.:
And, the 7.1.1.189 udate, for EMC 7, was the update that killed making an .iso file, over 2 hours long. It was never fixed and was the same in future versions of the Roxio software, after it was changed to MyDVD.
