I have an older dvd player that is not recoginzing the disk I have created on a dvd + r. The file is showing as a dvd 9 format and I'm assuming that is the problem. Is there anyway i can change the format to dvd 5 so the older player will play??? Thanks
If your DVD player won't play dual-layer DVD is must really be old. Does it play store-bought movies? Sounds like your best bet is to get a new player. Figure less than $70 for a player that will play just about anything versus $30 or more for some software to fix stuff. Unless you regularly do video conversions I'd get the player first and worry about conversions later.
Look at the book that came with your dvd player. Some of them only play dvd-r and some only dvd+r. Dvd 9 and dvd 5 are the same udf file format, they are just different kinds of disks.
