Playing UDF Video Player Content on Various DVD Players

Are you having trouble playing your UDF video player content on different DVD players? You're not alone. I recently encountered this issue myself, and after doing some research and experimenting with various methods, I'm excited to share my findings with you.

My journey began when I tried to play a Maestro compiled VIDEO_TS folder on my brand new Panasonic CP72 standalone DVD player. The folder was burned onto a few Memorex DVD+RW discs using my Sony DRU500 1.0f firmware and Stomp RecordNow Max 4.5 software. Unfortunately, the disc did not play on all of my DVD players.

I started to wonder if it was because the software I used wasn't following the 'rules' (if you will) of the DVD standard, or if it was a problem with my players themselves. After reading posts from VEFF, which convinced me to try Stomp RecordNow Max 4.5 in the first place, I realized that others had experienced similar issues.

To resolve this problem, I decided to use Primodvd software and burn a VIDEO_TS folder using UDF mode. To my surprise, it worked on all of my DVD players except for one Emerson player. When I tried burning the same folder using UDF/ISO mode, it played on some players, including Hitachi and RCA, but not on others, such as Toshiba SD1200 or Emerson.

In conclusion, playing UDF video player content can be a challenge, especially when trying to ensure compatibility across different DVD players. However, by experimenting with various methods and software, you may be able to find the solution that works best for you. In my case, using Primodvd software and burning in UDF mode solved the problem.
