Standards for physically trading and b&p'ing DVDs?

Thanks for checking that out 4c! So what I'm getting here is that it really doesn't make a difference; the DVDs should play just fine. Right?

I'm just keeping accurate records for myself at this point. For example, places that do a lot of vining like Phishhook don't have any standards at all. As long as the DVDs play they don't care. Sometimes the vines are sent as data and sometimes as playable DVDs. So I just note it and move on.

Well, I scoured the internet for this problem and lo and behold, I ended up here. I just noticed that on one of my DVD's, the IFO and BUP failed verification when burned to video with Nero, but the VOB's were fine. Glad to see it's not a big deal.

correct, the ifo/bup files were changed due to Nero "fixing" a structure issue...none of your actual video content has changed tho is the vob's check out fine
