I just bought a Panasonic ES20 to replace a GoVideo 6540 that died on me after only 10 months. The finalized +R dvds I recorded using the GoVideo will not play on the Panasonic. They have played on every dvd player I tried them in except the ES20. Any way I can get the Panasonic to play the GoVideo recorded dvds? thanks
Is this new recorder -R or +R or multi-format. If it's -R/RW then that's why it won't play it.......OK, just googled your recorder and it's multi-format. Can't think of a reason why it won't play for you. I'm sure someone has an answer. I'll be watching!
It's cheap HP media. That may have something to do with it. Funny though, they play in everything else.
Yeah, maybe your Panasonic is fickle about the make of media it accepts. Still, if the others play it, so should it!
I thought so too but it just doesn't like the HP stuff. I've recorded a couple of movies on it with Maxell media. That's crap media too but it doesn't have problems with the Maxell.
Yes and sometime when you drink the milk after the due date you don't get sick. I have a 50 disc cake box full of coasters. Always buy the best media, and burn it nice and slow like you would cook some big fat brats on the grill. Sorry it football season and the Hawks are doing good.
I'm really new at this stuff. I didn't know there was so much variation in media. Live and learn I guess.
I had a Panasonic DMR-E80H and it would only play or record DVD-R and DVD-RAM. It would play DVD+R only if they were bitset to DVD-ROM. I had a Panasonic DVD player and although the paperwork said it wouldn't play DVD+R it generally would even without bitsetting. Since you have a Panasonic recorder I imagine it won't play DVD+R unless they are book typed DVD-ROM. There's no way to change that once they have been recorded. Dave
