Q: i dvd- Problems navigating to chapters on Sony DVD player

My client tells me she cannot navigate to individual chapters on her Sony DVD player when she watches the short film I burned using I-dvd.  The DVD player model is a  ...   Sony DVD Player/Video Casette Recorder, SLV-D980P Gl   


Has anyone else had a similar experience?

    Did you follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:

    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.

     

    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.

     

    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

     

    Also are all of the chapter links within the TV Safe area?

    If they extend outside of that area it can cause problems.

    Taiyo Yuden DVD+R WAS my favorite choice. I have since switched to M-DISC because of its 1000 year lifetime.   Also, with M-DISC, it locks you into a burning speed of 4X, you cannot choose any other speed.
