1. Re: Short content DVD won't play
John T Smith Apr 11, 2013 8:31 AM (in response to Mike Dalton)Since it will not show on a non-computer DVD player, just create a "dummy" folder of "something" (maybe some large pictures that you don't care if someone sees if they do put the DVD in a computer drive) and then add that folder to the ROM content to increase the amount of data written to the DVD

Mike Dalton Apr 11, 2013 8:34 AM (in response to John T Smith)This is a great idea. I'll make a large company logo or something and give that a try.

John T Smith Apr 11, 2013 8:43 AM (in response to Mike Dalton)You may need to copy your "nothing" file into the "nothing" folder several times using several names to add enough "padding" to fix your problem

Stan Jones Apr 11, 2013 8:46 AM (in response to Mike Dalton)"Probably" the reason nero doesn't have the problem is the same as for ImgBurn: it automatically pads the total size. I never remember to pad tiny disks anymore, because I have become dependent on the autopad!
Edit: I see John's second past! That's the other imgburn advantage here: let it figure out the addition!

5. Re: Short content DVD won't play
Mike Dalton Apr 11, 2013 8:49 AM (in response to John T Smith)Yeah, one image probably won't cut it. Maybe I'll create a folder filled with a pile of our Corporate Beauty shots, and just keep that on my desktop for filling purposes. Or, maybe I'll try ImgBurn too. Good tips.

JSS1138 Apr 11, 2013 9:21 PM (in response to Mike Dalton)There is a minimum size for 'legal' DVDs. If the program material is less than 1GB on disk, the authoring program should be filling in the rest with 0's. Encore used to do that as part of the Lead Out.
