[Bug 131220] Re: making dvd video iso image doesn't seem to work

[Eric Buist]

I encountered a similar problem while creating a DVD-Video using genisoimage. I have first creatd the VIDEO_TS structure using dvdauthor. I could then burn the DVD using growisofs which calls genisoimae. However, the disk was only readable by the computer; my standalone DVD player pretended it was badly formatted.
I tried to recode the audio of the MPEG files, then the video too, using MEncoder, and recreated the DVD structure using dvdauthor: same results with growisofs/genisoimage.
Then, I tried to burn an existing DVD structure I created using DVDAuthor on Gutsy: same result. The bug was then located in growisofs/genisoimage, not dvdauthor.
I progressively came to the conclusion that I could never create DVD Video anymore with Ubuntu, unless I downgrade to Gutsy. Before switching to another distro, I tried to download and compile cdrtools (not cdrkit) which contains mkisofs, from which genisoimage was forked.
With mkisofs, I could create my DVD Video, and it was readable by my standalone player.
The bug seems to be genisoimage not creating the correct UDF structure for DVD Video. It creates UDF filesystems, because I can mount an iso image in loopback mode using the UDF filesystem, but it does not generate the appropriate information for (dumb) standalone players.
