OK, so is your full name "Stuart Netmask" then?
The point is that playable DVDs are simple ISO Data DVDs
with a certain file structure. (VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS
folders) You can make more complex ISO data DVDs, but
that is beside the point. You don't need a special preset with
a name "Video DVD" to create a playable anywhere DVD.
In fact a "Video" DVD is just a simplified "Data" DVD.
But you were telling everyone that your DVD won't play
anywhere except your PC, unless it were burned using a
"special" "Video DVD" option.
Simple is a good target, correct can be a more useful one.
Luck;
Ken
