TSGL: DVD to CD

[Dieter]

Question:  Does anybody in TSGL land have experience with DVD to CD ... 
meaning using a clean (decrypted) 4+ GB DVD movie and after encoding and 
compressing, burning it onto a 700 MB CD disk for playpack on a PC or on a 
DVD player?

I tried it for the first time using the Ashampoo Compress & Burn 2 program. 
The audio and video quality on the PC was quite good (good enough for me, at 
least).  However, I was unable to get any output from my DVD/CD player.  It 
indicated there was no audio and no image.  I understand the created CD is 
in MPEG format which should play on my DVD player.

Perhaps someone with experience in this area could help me out.
