i hope i have included everything

I don't have an answer to your question, but you might want to edit your post and remove your Nero serial number.

Lmao

i really could use some help. just about to give up

How long is the video? And what bitrate did you use for the encoding? If it's too high, some DVD players might have problems with it.

You might also try burning at a slower speed.

Thanks for the Nero key LOL If this is legit I bet I can finally get support from Nero!

It's Nero, from my experince not all DVD players like Nero burns...I reccomend you try burning with another application, I use Encore. I've burned the SAME DVDs with both and Nero just seems to be buggy about it, Encore burns it fine as long as it's authored correctly.

i thought that i might actually get some help from this site but as i can see....

If you're not willing to work with us, we can't troubleshoot your problem.

Did you read the questions that I asked? Did you try RLLMoFP's suggestion?
