Hello all. This is the first time I've had to deal with this situation. A company purchased training material from another company that produced it on VHS. Years have passed and they wanted it put on DVD.
They contacted the producing company which they purchased it from and were given the OK in writing to reproduce the VHS to DVD for their use only.
Being given this letter copy I made a conversion using my Canopus 300, which btw is supposed to be able to overcome macrovision by holding down two buttons on top of the converter for 3 seconds.
Anyway, the result is the dvd with menus plays fine on all computers. But it is choppy on 4 test set top DVD players, to the point of not being able to view it properly. One set top player even says "no dvd present"
PE3 took in the conversion from the canopus 300 and the resulting avi was transcoded in PE3 to mpeg, and then that was menued in DVD Workshop. All without apparent issues until played on a set top DVD player. Using verbatim dvd -r
Has anyone run across something like this? I'm only assuming it is relative to copy protection but I dont know.
In checking the DVD It does have both video and audio ts folders. FWIW .
thanks,
joe
