I use a folder named "VIDEO_TS", all the proper files will be placed there. After that use a DVD authoring software, skip using WIN10 file manager and burn to disc. You will need something like CyberLink Power2Go to burn the folder to DVD.
thnx for all the help. took the week off in frustration. I will work through all your ideas and questions and post my findings.
Success! Okay, the short of it. Prior to switching to VPX, I used another DVD authoring program where I could alter the settings to produce a higher quality DVD burn. (i.e. if my timeline was only 30 minutes, I would adjust the bit rate to the highest possible setting that allowed my content to still fit on the disc. I would also change the encoding process to Slow High Quality.) I assumed VPX would allow me to do the same, especially when I changed the encoder settings and VPX said I had plenty of Disc space to do so. Evidently not. The "fix" for me in this situation was only to use the preset encoder settings. Somewhat disappointing, but once I stopped trying to get a better bitrate (even though VPX indicated it was fine to do so) I had no problems. The disc image and burn were successful, howbeit, not at the higher quality I was hoping. Thank you to everyone who so painstakingly tried assisting me in this dilemma.
Hi
. . . . . adjust the bit rate to the highest possible setting that allowed my content to still fit on the disc . . . .
That is definitely not recommended - it can result in discs that are not playable on some DVD players.
The presets are already optimised for the best combination of quality, capacity and player compatibility.
It is a pity that the missing piece of information had not been provided as requested here, you would have saved yourself a lot of frustration however pleased to hear have finally succeeded in getting a good burn.
