Hi, hope y'all had a good Christmas!
I have a VIDEO_TS directory on my hard disk with VOBs etc that plays perfectly with Apple's DVD player. Now I want to burn it to DVD (yes, it's smaller than 4.3GB).
In order to create an image of the VIDEO_TS folder I use this command:
drutil -drive firewire burn -noverify -eject -iso9660 ~/Desktop/MovieDir/
This creates a DVD, but Apple's DVD player doesn't see it as a real movie DVD, I guess it sees it as a data DVD. If I tell DVD Player to go to the mounted DVD directory and open the VIDEO_TS directory there it plays - but that's just like playing the VIDEO_TS from my hard disk. I'd really like DVD Player to think of the DVD as a movie DVD which it starts playing automatically. I have also taken this DVD to a friend's house where his fancy Bose DVD player refuses to play it.
I also tried using UDF instead of ISO9660 like so:
drutil -drive firewire burn -noverify -eject -udf ~/Desktop/MovieDir/
Basically the exact same result.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong in my attempt to go from a VIDEO_TS directory on my hard disk to a "proper" DVD? Can anyone tell me what kind of file system a movie DVD uses?
Thanks in advance!
