Re: DVD-Video compatibility

Hi Roadkill,

Guess what? As I was digging around in the spec awhile ago, I may have found something possibly interesting, and have been wanting to test it out;

In the VMGI_MAT (Video Manager Information Management Table), and each VOBU_ADP_ID (VOB Adapted Disc Type), there's an option in the DSI_GI (Data Search General Information) for each VOB (must match the VMG setting) to be flagged as "adapted" for either DVD ROM or DVD-R/-RW; i.e. replicated or recordable.

I wonder if we were to change the flag here just like we do the bit setting on DVD+R's in the lead-in, we could increase compatibility even further!?

My program isn't set up to give user access to this data field in the VOB, at the moment, but after we get a few things we're working on right now done, this could be arranged!

Think it's worth a shot? (you know, it's been awhile since I blackened a freshly pressed lab coat! :-)

Thanks,

Trai
