MyDVD or Creator Classic for DVDs?

[Cold Steel]

After installing and reinstalling Version 9 a half dozen times, I finally have it working...sorta.

 

DiscCopy now shows my video files, but reports: "Compressing DVD" even though the files don't need compressing to fit on a standard DVD+R. And twice it's written 99 percent to the disk, then fails. The tech support folks want me to use MyDVD, but really, I'd rather just use Creator Classic. But I don't know what the Properties setting should be set for. I understand "No Bridge" should be set for the second parameter, but what about the first?

 

Chris said he'd send me an e-mail addressing the problem with MyDVD, but it's been over an hour and nothing's arrived.

 

Can anyone offer any advice?

 

Thanks!

In Classic, for a DVD Movie – UDF, No Bridge and be sure to check Read Only after you click Burn.

 

Classic will not allow you to have the needed VIDEO_TS folder! Work around, create a New Folder and rename it to VIDEO_TS. Then copy the ifo, bup and vob files into it.

 

Some Player require the empty AUDIO_TS folder to be present to play a DVD Movie. That is easy, just create one like you did with the VIDEO_TS folder…

I'm pretty sure the 'compressing' message is a bug as I get this too but have seen no evidence of compression on the final project size.

Thanks for the comments and the suggestions.

 

This makes me wonder whether I should set the UDF, no bridge as the default setting, as my Classic Creator 6 seem to do everything perfectly: from the creating of DVDs to writing folders and files.

 

Any thoughts?
