HD and SD projects
One of the more frequent errors when using DVD Studio Pro seems to be that users are creating HD projects by not changing their preferences. In the main, these projects will work fine up until the point that you burn a disc and then try to play it back. Because HD projects have a very different structure, and most DVD Players can’t read them, the discs will appear to fail.
In a SD project you only get two folders at the root of the disc (unless you have added ROM content) and these are called ‘VIDEO_TS’ and ‘AUDIO_TS’. The audio folder will be empty, and that’s fine. The video folder will contain ‘.ifo’, ‘.bup’ and ‘.vob’ files only. If there is anything else in there you could have problems when playing back.
To avoid these issues, make sure that when you set up your project you set it to be SD. When HD players and HD authoring become more mainstream you’ll have less problems (although I guarantee there will be some…).
