DVD Won't play after burning

[MikeMattke]

I am trying to use a Prestige with my film transfer system. I have a project just over 30 minutes long. I went through Arabesk and set everything up and it went thru Phases 1 and 2, it finalized the disk and then verified the disk. I can't get it to play in a DVD player or my computer. On the Prestige the main menu won't play either but it will play by chapters. I was able to import it to my S2000 via Ksesebara but that is compressed? So I don't want to have to burn a DVD with that.

What am I doing wrong with the Prestige?

Mike, can you play the finished rendered film under "film,chapters" or under "All" in the Arabesk main menu? I've had similar problems before and discovered that the film would not play in those windows, despite having burned and verified the disc. My fix was to just delete the rendered film and start over. Might need to do a clean install of the OS and Arabesk to avoid future problems.

Thanks Chris. I did finally get it to work but only after 2 unsuccessful tries. It was strange, it would play the film but would not play the menu on the Prestige. That carried over to when I popped into a DVD player.

So I shut down, removed the film, opened up in an empty project, went to Arabesk and then tried again. Figured that helps with Bogart so I thought why not try it with Smart Edit. I have also been advised to upgrade my drive and software. I will probably do that since I use the Prestige for my film transfer projects.
