For UK, yes, PAL will work with current DVD players and TVs.

PAL is for most european countries and NTSC for North American.
Setting for automatic is trying to recognize format that you use.
Most PAL systems can play NTSC, but most NTSC systems can not play PAL.

So there is no way to burn for all countries, to be sure you need two versions.

What do you mean with "not original quality" ?
DVD can have max 720x576 resolution on PAL.

HD is usually at least 1280x720 so there is no way to convert/burn to DVD with that quality.
BR is required for HD and better quality. And of course different burner and converter.

You can burn much more easily.
Check on templates and read this forum for guides.

This is more a limit on DVD as DVD standard player has no memory to store positions or other wanted behavior. That is also why there is no random play on DVD.

You need to use menu that has chapter menu page. Not all menus have it.

DVD format does not allow anything else.
DVD can have tracks and tracks can have chapters.
Main menu is all tracks, each track can have submenu with chapters and selections for subtitles etc.

There will always be re-encoding when doing DVD as DVD has very strict and limited version of mpeg2.
Quality loss is usually not even visible.

Yes, You make each season a track and all episodes in a season as chapters using merge function.

Are you saying that only problem is subtitle being divided to three rows instead of two or even one?

Are you wiping that VM after use and reinstalling from scratch or do you have a clean backup that you restore?
If first one, then that is clear reason for this problem as Windows generates new UID for it when installing, and to VSO that looks like a new computer each time. Hope they can fix this.

You can play any burned disc on those, just make sure that your disc is good quality.
Some restrictions on some players might prevent from playing PAL or NTSC.
Cinavia is on audio track and does not prevent playing but will show warning and might mute sound.

What is exactly the problem?
You have wrong character encoding in subtitle settings?

Quality might be ok with upscaling but you will lose detail.
Most recent digital photos have resolution better than 2K.
DVD supports max 720x576 which is less than one quarter of 2K.

That resolution was fine 10 years ago but not anymore. Of course it still is max for DVD.

PhotoDVD does just that with various settings, including background music.
Downside is resolution, only DVD which is not good enough these days.

This might explain what can be done:

Add all videos from one wedding to one file:
add first video, then merge second one to it and rest of that wedding.

What I need is Page 1 Title “Fred’s wedding” Page 2 Title “ Alberts wedding” Page 3 Title “ Daves wedding “ Page 1 will have 3 episodes Page 2 will have 6 episodes Page 3 will have 4 episodes Steps: Add first video of Fred's wedding. Then add all other videos from Fred's wedding to this first one, ...

Doing as was suggested gives just what you want.

One DVD with up to 99 weddings, each wedding can have up to 99 chapters; parts / videos from same wedding.
That is the way DVDs are built, even professional ones.

Please post conversion log from that conversion.
Then, how did you test and find that there is no sound?
