    I've been beating my head against the wall trying to figure this out so any help would be welcomed:

    I've been trying to burn DVD's for use with the following DVD players:
    Samsung 709
    Apex 600A

    My MCE system is using:
    AMD X2 64 4400+
    2 GIG RAM
    Sony DWQ 30A DVD +RW DVD burner Window driver 5.1.2535.0

    MCE 2005 5.1.2715.2773 (xpsp(wmbla).051011-0745)
    Update Rollup 2

    SonicAC3Encoder 1.00.0000
    SonicMPEGEncoder 1.00.0000
    Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II (26xx) driver 2.0.35.23297

    uLead Movie Factory 3 SE


    Here is the problem:
    When I burn a dics be it a FujiFilm DVD-R, FujiFilm DVD+R or ESA
    DVD+R, using the MCE Create Video DVD option, the disc will either
    fail to load on the players or the players reads no disc. Same is true for the disc made with uLead

    The disc do work when I've put them in another PC DVD player as well as a new DVD player. But before I bought a MCE, I used my boss's iBook to burn some home movies using ESA DVD+R and they play fine on both the Samsung and the Apex. I just tested the Fujis this week using disc from the same spendle and the same result

    I've even tried burning disc with a trial of neoDVD 7 with out luck
    (granted it was a mixture of MPEG, AVI and WMA to see if the converter
    would work)

    Any help or ideas would be most welcomed aside from getting new DVD
    players (the wife ruled that out)

    So the backup DVD disc work on 1 DVD player and not the other?

    If this is the case then more then likly whatever DVD player's that isnt reading the disc dont like the disc.

    Also just because you used the same brand of DVD's as what worked before dosent mean it will work again. The DVD's could have been made by a diffrent manufacture.

    To me it sounds like a Media issue if the disc play on 1 DVD and not another.

    So get better media.

    The strange thing is that both players have been shown to work with an iDVD burnt disc from a Mac SuperDrive. So I'm wondering if this is a software issue

    @ larry, i had to post here after seeing the red wings in ur sig.@slubber, try burning ur +r media with the booktype set to dvdrom, this helps compatability with most dvd players espcially older players.
