CS3 - Simple Project - DVD-R Plays in Sony, NOT Panasonic!!

Hi all - I am following this thread with some interest. I am having the exact
same issues with Encore CS3. VERY simple project, it all checks out fine,
previews perfectly.

My questions are:
I have an interesting issue on my first use in anger of CS3.

Does CS3 burn an "appendable" disk? I think it does! If so, will that
affect DVD player compatibility?

I have tried direct burning to DVD-R (Verbatim), and it plays fine on my SONY
DVD player, but comes up as "Unsupported" on my Panasonic standalone
DVD/HDD recorder drive. Is this a DVD player firmware issue?

If so - I guess I need to find out how to close the disk through Adobe CS3.
(Note I have tried closing these DVD-R's through another application such as
Roxio 10, but it craps out stating it thinks there is like 400GB free on the
disk!!)

Other things I have tried include building an ISO file AND a DVD folder, neither
of which will burn using Cyberlink DVD Suite. THey are not recognised! Arrgh.
Any ideas?

Anything else I can try would be MOST useful!!

Does the Panasonic play other DVD-R discs? (Apart from ones burned by the
Panasonic itself.)

Is your project larger than 1GB?

Hi there - thanks for the reply.

Well yes the Panasonic plays all other DVDR disks, without issue.

The project is larger than 1GB in terms of content, but the actual CS3 project
file itself is only about 22MB in size.

I'll try the ImgBurn application, but I have to say I don't hold out much
hope...

anyone else??

Could well be the Panasonic just will not play BD-R discs.

Well I now have a few more tidbits to add... I have burnt the same avi file
using Roxio 10 & it's DVD creator application, using menus etc. Success! So
it's not the BD-R disc format, as I'm using the same brand etc throughout all
this.
