What file type for DVD playback

Post by RicDavid »

I can't figure out how to get the files that have been converted from DVD through HandBrake and then copied back to another DVD to play in a commercial DVD player. The DVD Players always say they can't play this disc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You can't. Files produced by HandBrake aren't compatible with DVD players.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Any idea how I "could" do this?

You would use a third-party encoder to render the HandBrake files to compliant MPEG-2 (.mpg or .vob) for DVD authoring. I won't name any because there are so many. You can't make a SD DVD from MP4.

Since this is under the Mac section, I'll recommend Toast. I've been using it for years without any issues. It's not free though...
