What format to use...???

[Michel Racic]

Hi Larry

>From my past experience it's possible that your problem doesn't have
to do with wrong conversion but with your DVD player.
I know that some DVD players (most expensive ones) have problems with
self burned DVD's (doesn't mather if its a bit copy of an original or
a self made dvd).
I bought a very cheap United DVD player (<50$) and it plays almost
every disk even if it has lots of scratches on but my expensive home
cinema system doesn't play all of my DVD's.

Regards Michel
