have a couple of home made dvd's of my daughters basketball season that i would like to make copyies for the family. i put them on my HD and burned them to dvd, but they wont play on a standard dvd player. i clicked the option so they would play on other devices other than my lap top. what do i need to do? some kind of format? thanks, ed

How were they created originally? On a stand alone DVD recorder or DVD camcorder? You should be able to copy the VIDEO_TS folder to the HD and use ImgBurn to put it on DVD.

sorry about that. most r pictures made into a slide show, and i think there r some video clips from a iphone. i think they used a mac to create the dvd. they r in video_ts folders and used my widows dvd maker. the disks play on my lapy but not on a standard dvd palyer. i did click the option so the disks could paly on all devices, but it snot happening. any help would be great. ed

Does the DVD you were given have a VIDEO_TS folder with the file structure listed here:

Does the disc you were given play in a regular DVD player and the copy you made won't?
It doesn't matter what they made it with originally as long as they made it into a standard DVD. PC and MAC both have numerous programs for that.
If the DVD they ave you plays and you just want to make copies put the VIDEO_TS folder on your HD and use ImgBurn. It's free and not difficult to use.

if it was made on a mac the folder structure is good
you must not be ripping/burning it right
it has been a long time since i did it on a pc but basically you need to make a disc with the video_ts folder AND a audio_ts folder
some players will not work without the audio folder as well, it should be empty but there
imgburn recommended above i hear is really easy and works good, but make sure you have the audio_ts folder too and fwiw if someone who really knows what they are doing made the dvd it might also have a extras_ts folder which would include text files, md5, cover art - whatever extra they might include
