New DVD+RW Problem in Sony Player

I have a new problem that just started to show up when I burn DVD+RW with my Pioneer A108 and try playing them in my older Sony DVP-S550 player (it will not recognize the disk). It still plays all of my older burned disk (DVD+RW's) from a month ago and older (same media). Just anything new that I burn. I can burn a DVD+R and it plays just fine. Something happened that causes newly burned DVD+RW disks not to play. They work just fine in my JVC player.

Older burns DVD+RW (Sony will play them)
New burns DVD+RW (Sony will not recognize them but JVC will)
New burns DVD+R (Sony will recognize them as well as JVC)

Programs that I tried are:
Nero 7
Alcohol
DVD Shrink

Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

The media is not my problem. I have been using the same brand for 2 years now. I can take an old DVD+RW that will play in the Sony player and burn a new movie on it and it will no longer play.
I recently updated my firmware in my Pioneer A108 but I can't say for sure if that was the change that made a difference. Is there a bit set for Pioneer to make DVD+RW compatible in older players like HP has?

Thanks!

BTW the media is Ritek RiDATA.
But like I said, I can take one that will play and burn a new movie on it and it will no longer play.

 

Hi Ibanezwiz,

Try to set your pioneer dvd writer to dvd-rom by using dvd decrypter.
Open dvd decryper click on tools->drive->change book type.

I hope this will help you solve your problem.

 

I don't see an option for Pioneer or DVD-ROM.
I'm not sure what to do.

 

hi,

Try to use nero to do the booksetting.
To change the book type or "bitsetting" using Nero CD-DVD Speed)

01) open up Nero StartSmart
02) click on Nero Toolkit
03) click on Nero CD-DVD Speed
04) click on Extra, Bitsetting
05) now arrow down and change the New Setting to DVD-ROM
06) click on Set, then Close. That's it... easy as smoking..!!

 

I have a Pioneer DVR109 and as far as I know it doesnt support bit setting

OK I tried NERO and that locked my system up so I had to reboot. Tried it twice. As soon as I clicked on Bitsettings it locked up NERO and my drive. I had to reboot.

My drive is definitely set to book type DVD+RW.

Is there another way to change Pioneer book type?

Thanks!

 

Hi,
gwendolin you are right. The booksetting was from indeed taken from Alkohol. Alkohol indeed deserve the credit. Sorry just now I was in the hurry to the loo forgotten to mention his name.... My apologies...
