Playback of home-made DVD's on mediaMVP

[johnvk]

Hi all,

I compiled a DVD from several home videos with nice menu's etc.
It playss perfectly with SageTV on the PC, but refused to play on the MVP. The screen stays black. And no, the sound is not AC3 but plain and simple MP2.
Am I trying to use a not supported function or is one of the settings mistaken?

Here is a part of the logs

MVP was not made for DVD

java.io.FileNotFoundException: E:\Home Video\Denise Thom\VIDEO_TS (Access is denied)

I think it might be a permissions issue. Check that your user permissions are available to the computer running the MVP client.

@SHS, too bad, but I thought all the processing was done by the PC and the MVP was merely a GUI-front-end. The DVD-on-harddisk is being played perfectly by SageTV

@Crashless, based on the logs that would be a correct assumption. However, plain MPEG2-videos residing on the same drive are accessible by the MVP. It's just the DVD-on-harddisk that gives errors.

Based on Stream' known-issues I thought I would be possible, see

8. Rippend DVDs will only play if the audio is re-encoded to MP3. AC3, the standard audio format for DVDs, is not supported by the MVP
