All the DVD uploaded at Traders Den have been authored by programs that do what Windows DVD Maker does so you don't want to use that. VOBs are the files that DVDs use. Ones will burn the files as is.

When you say the data disc will not play what model DVD player are you using and what does the file structure on the DVD disc look like?
What's on a DVD?

What exactly is on a DVD disc? What are VOB, IFO and BUP files? All this will be explained here.

When you access the DVD drive you'll see at least 2 directories:

22.08.2000 03:20 <DIR> AUDIO_TS
22.08.2000 05:53 <DIR> VIDEO_TS

AUDIO_TS is used for DVD Audio and contains the audio files, whereas VIDEO_TS is used to store all data for the movie. There might be more directories which contain DVD-ROM features for your PC.

Now let's have a look at the VIDEO_TS directory:

22.08.2000 05:53 <DIR> .
