I am fairly new to this DVD burning thing but need some help. I have been burning DVDs on my LG 4163B burner. These DVDs play fine on my PC dvd drive, in my stand alone player, and the DVD player in my Toshiba LCD TV. Then I ran out of blanks. Now nothing will play in the Toshiba but everything plays in my stand alone player. I have upgraded to Nero 7, Upgraded the firmware in the LG4163 burner, all to no avail. The Toshiba just refuses to recognize the disks. The ones I burned previosly still work fine. I have tried Maxell DVD+R and Verbatim DVD-R disks. I have tried burning the DVDs with Nero 7 and DVDShrink 3.2, no cheer. Any suggestions?
Hello, I had the same problem with my Toshiba player and it turned out that I had to burn the movies at a slower speed, nothing over 4x would play on the toshiba. So now I try and burn all my movies at 4x. Give that a try and let us know. -FuZDVD
I tried burning a Maxell DVD +r at 4X. Same problem. Player says "Incorrect Disk". Movie (Legend of Zorro) plays fine on both my stand alone player and my PC. Although quality isn't good and sound is off by a hair. My Toshiba 14DLV75 manual says the machine plays DVD Video, DVD-R/RW, Plus the usual CD-R, CD-RW, CD-DA, Video CD, MP3, WMA etc. It says the unit cannot play: DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, Photo CD or non standardized disks even if the are labelled as above, whatever that means. It also says" Some CD-R/RWs cannot be played back depending on the recording conditions". It doesn't say what those conditions are. Next I will try a DVD-R disk at 4x but I don't think it will change anything.
hi, burn your disks using nero express , when you get to the option of burning go to options , booktyping , click dvd-rom .then ok burn your disk and da da !! it will play on most standalone dvd players MaRk
Tried that, no-go. If you read the post above yours the documentation for the unit says specifically that it won't play DVD-ROMs.
hi, how about using nero recode to remake the dvd ( or choose the option of recoding main movie to DVD) on a DVD-R disk. It could be that your player is not recognising the format in which the original film was made.
I have tried both Maxell (+R) and Verbatim (-R). I successfully burned DVDs that ran on the Toshiba 14DLV75 but they were no-name brand blanks. Nothing printed on them so I have no clue who made them. Since then I have updated the firmware in the burner and upgraded both Nero burnibg rom and DVDShrink so I don't know where the problem lies. I am going to try the Nero recode thing mentioned above if I can figure out how to do that. Anyone know what brand of blank DVD would be most compatible generally? Or maybe best quality so I can at least isolate the blank DVD compatibility question?
