I have a copy of The Hulk on DVD-R that is very fussy about which player it will work on.

Copying it using Nero or DVD-Decrypter doesn't help.

Also, using DVD95Copy, DVD-Shrink, and DVD2ONE doesn't fix it either and it is really starting to bug me!

Can anyone help with an easy remedy?

TIA

Maybe your players are fussy?

Try another media too as I don't know what media & writer you're using.

No M8 it's not that straightforward. I have two players - a Pioneer and a Compacks.
The Compacks plays it fine, the Pioneer gives me half an image and sound breakup!
A Toshiba & a JVC wouldn't even load it and it doesn't matter if it's on Datawrite/Princo or Ritek...DOH!

probably because it is a svcd on dvdr that has not been converted to true dvd spec. Use tmpeg to re-convert to dvd spec and you should find that it plays fine

Ah - the old "Power Valve" - Top Bike!

Thanks for your input rd350ypvs - you're right it seems it was originally SVCD.

Do you have a link with a tutorial for the TMPG conversion m8?
