(If I copied things right)

I copy-pasted same to the DVD folder for a blank DVD disk, and then
wrote same on the disk. The disk plays fine on my PC. But not on my
DVD player - which does not recognize the disk at all.

What am I doing wrong please?

I don't know the technical details, but know it makes a difference
whether you choice the DVD option or the option that says something like
"do you want the disk to be accessed like a thumbdrive."
which I don't of course. I saw that option.

Did you burn the DVD using Windows DVD burning ?

If so, maybe the disc needs to be "closed" ???

The session might still be open. An open session
could **** off a DVD player.

If I burned a video DVD using Imgburn, the session
would be closed after the burning step was finished.
That's a difference between the "lets leave the session
open" method of the Windows built-in method, versus
the Imgburn "lets burn an ISO" method. When you give
an ISO to a regular burning program, it knows the
session is not to be left open.

Hmmm

I downloaded and looked at Imgburn, and its choices seem to be:
1) Write image file to disk
2) Write files/folders to disk
3) Create image file from disk
4) Create image file from files/folders
5) Verify disk
6) Discovery

I am used to burining ISO image files to disk. I don't think my video
files are image files. Am I wrong?
Anyway, I don't think I want choice 2. But then do I?
When I copy my 10 video files files to disk, am I really just doing a
data copy?
The rest of the choices seem not germain.

I am tired of wasting my dwindling supply of blank DVD disks. So what
should I do?
Thanks

BTW, you may be right about my write processes not being 'closed' at
finish. I don't recall getting such a choice.

Why not take an existing DVD you've prepared,
and just "find a recipe for closing a session" ?

You see, the DVD is not ruined, it just needs one more step.
See first post in thread below for inspiration.

My comment about Imgburn, was to show there are different kinds
of DVD programs. And the windows "need to close a session" is
just an extra step.

https://www.tenforums.com/general-su...-dvd-disc.html

"In Windows Explorer, click the disc burner drive,
and then click Close session on the toolbar.
[the burned disc should be in the drive!]

The session will be closed, so the disc can be used in other computers."

Since you already have the disc, it costs nothing to try :-)
