Help with DVD5 Burning: Trying to get Despecialized 2.5 going!

So I found a DVD5 version online, but I’m not too sure where to go from there. I extracted one of the rar files, and burned the VIDEO_TS folder to a DVD-R thanks to Disco (I’m a Mac user 😕), but it doesn’t seem to do anything. It seemed to me that every one of the RAR files in the download I found yielded the same files in the same folders, so I only burned the contents of one. Was that my mistake? Or is a DVD5 download not compatible with DVD-Rs?

No, you have to use a special UDF filesystem to be Video-DVD compatible. If it’s not the right filesystem, your player will see it as a data disc and may not do anything with it. I’d recommend ImgBurn–I understand it works in Wine so you could technically get it running on a Mac. Also, you may find some option menu in the software you’re using where it gives you filesystem options–you want a video DVD, not a data DVD.

Alright, thanks! I think disco gave me some options. Must not have looked into it. 😕
