I am trying to create a DVD of a slide show created in Adobe Premiere Elements 8, however none of my attempts will play on any DVD player I try, with the exception of a disk drive on a PC. I’ve tried DVD-R and DVD+R media. Here are the steps I’ve been taking once I create the slideshow: I select Share -> Disc -> Burn to “Disc” Under Presets select “NTSC_DolbyDVD I uncheck “Fit Contents to available space” (this is a very short slide show.) Move the quality slider all the way to the right for highest quality. Finally click on “Burn”. The resulting DVD contains the expected folder named VIDEO_TS. This folder contains all the expected files, i.e.: VIDEO_TS.BUP VIDEO_TS.IFO VTS_01_0.BUP VTS_01_0.BUP VTS_01.VOB No matter which DVD player I try to play this disc I always get a message that says disc cannot be read or disc is unrecognized. I’ve tried five different players all with the same result. I’m in the US, so all the players I’ve tried are NTSC. I have run out of ideas and don’t know how to troubleshoot further. Can anyone help?

Try Verbatim DVDs with the Azo dye.

Taiyo Yudens are OK, too, but I don't think they are still being manufactured.

My experience creating a DVD
Windows 10 Pro 64bit version 20H2 Build 19042.1052
Premiere Elements 2021 Version 19.0 (20210127.daily.2235820)
Lite-On DVD writer model IHAS124-14 ImgBurn 2.5.8.0
Taiyo Yuden single layer blanks
Verbatim dual layer blanks

I create an ISO with PE2021 and I have ImgBurn configured to use a write speed of 1x... it will auto adjust to the slowest speed possible with the combination of disc and writer

All discs I create play just fine in my Samsung BD-J5100 player at TV (Samsung is about 3 years old)

My discs do not play at all (not recognized) in an old (10 years old?) Go-Video DVR4400

If you can play the disc on your computer, then the disc has been successfully created. The issue is that the DVD players aren't recognizing the disc.

Ann is right when she's says that brand can make a difference. Cheap Memorex discs often produce less compatible discs than better brands like Verbatim.

I've also found that my success rate if much better if I save the disc files to my hard drive rather than burn directly to a disc and then use a program like ImgBurn to actually burn the disc.

I have saved the files to my hard drive and burned to a disc using using: native Windows Explorer, Ashampoo disc burner and ImgBurn, all with the same result. I have also saved as an ISO file and burned with ImgBurn software, still doesn't work. I have been using Verbatim and Sony media. The 4 DVD players I have been testing on are range representing units built from 10-years ao to 2-years ago. I just don't know how to troubleshoot further.

Do your DVD players have USB ports? Many do. If you export your slide show to an MP4 file on USB memory stick, you may be able to play that on your DVD players. Most current TVs also have a USB port that can work to play MP4 files.
