Can't burn to disk

[Niekk]

Hi,

I have some videos (.avi) and converted them with DeVeDe to .iso's. The structure seems okay.
But when I burn it to a DVD, I can't play it with my home DVD player. I burn the .iso's by right clicking on the .iso, and select "CD/DVD Creator" and enter the maximum write speed.
I am completely sure of the writing speed, but it does not work on my DVD player @ home. When I insert the DVD in my ubuntu computer again, immediately "Movie Player" pops up and plays my DVD.

Why isn't it working ?

Best Regards,
Niek van der Steen

The problem is probably due to the genisoimage file in Hardy.
You may need to downgrade to version 1.1.2 or compile to version 1.1.8.
Have a look at this

I had more or less the same problem as you, but with DVDStyler.
I solved it by installing the 1.1.8-1ubuntu3 version of genisoimage, which requires also mkisofs to be installed.

To do this I had to add the gutsy repositories amongst my sources, then I had to force the downgrade of geisoimage from version 1ubuntu6 which comes with hardy to 1ubuntu3 from gutsy.

This uninstalled DVDStyler and ManDVD, then I blocked the version of genisoimage at 1ubuntu3, reinstalled the 2 apps and mkisofs too, and everything worked like charm now.

It seems that genisoimage 1.1.8-1ubuntu6 includes the mkisofs functions, but it must be buggy, at least in my hardy 64bit.

I followed the thread linked by cjv8888 too.
