ok i just bought a lite-on 16x writer rewriter i have nero 7 dvd shrink convertXtodvd and anydvd if i burn with just nero the quality is horrible but shrink wont open the file so i convert it to a dvd file with convertxtodvd then use shrink then burn it with nero but when i put it in a dvd player it says its a dvd but there is no playback feature also dvd's wont play on computer after i convert them but the will play before but regular dvd's wont play in computer with nero either help pls
Hi. Are you using good quality media like Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, and Made in Japan labeled Fuji and Sony? Are you burning at half or less the rated speed of the media? If you're burning at Max speed with poor quality media, your player may not be able to read the disk. Have you checked for firmware updates for your burner?
im using maxwell dvd-rw's im burning at 2x and i have checked for firmware but i cant find any updates for mine i thought it was the files but they play with powerdvd just not on nero also my burner wont play dvd's it just locks up cant figure out what im doing wrong
Have you tried any +R or -R media, not RW. Your player isn't reading the disks you burn. That seems the likely cause.
i have tried +r and the same thing and my dvd player is sopposed to be one of the few that will actually read rw's
someone told me that it might be the files to check them out so i tried to watch them on nero and they wouldnt work but i tried them on powerdvd worked fine still no idea whats going on
Hi. These were downloaded AVI files that you converted to be DVD compliant -- is that correct? I do not know where you're located, but is it possible you have downloaded PAL broadcast format files and your DVD player plays back only NTSC broadcast format files or v.v.? Many PC software players will play back both NTSC and PAL format video. Unless you have a DVD player that plays back both formats, it'll choke on the wrong format. It'll usually give an illegal disk, incorrect format, or some other error message though. If the above is the case, you'll have to do a conversion before they'll be playable on your standalone player. ConvertX can do that for you as can Nero.
a few times it said that most of the disk was PAL and did i want to convert to NTSC and i did but still no luck if i burn with just nero when i use smart start it works fine just looks awful but once i convert and shrink they wont play if i put it back in the computer it wont play but the video and audio files are on there im a complete noob at this so maybe im doing something wrong but i have searched this and many other forums and no one can seem to help
Try ConvertXtoDVD. It's a much better converter most of the time than Nero. http://www.vso-software.fr/products/convert_x_to_dvd/
thats what i have been using to convert it converts to dvd files but once i burn then dvd player reads it as a dvd the i get the no playback feature message am i suppossed to convert to dvd files or something else
Try using ImgBurn to burn your disks instead of Nero. See if that makes a difference. Just output an ISO image file from Shrink and burn that with ImgBurn. http://www.imgburn.com (free) Maybe you're using carppy quality media and trying to burn it too fast. Post one of the sections of your Nero History log for one of your burns. The log is in this path: Program Files > Nero > Nero7 > Core > NeroHistory Sections represent a burn attempt and begin with a header followed by your name and Nero serial number. Post only one of the sections, not the entire log. Be sure to delete your name and serial number from the post.

Hi. There are actually two log sections posted so you have another serial number to delete about half way down your post. To enter edit mode, click the paper/pencil icon in the upper right of the post to be edited. It appears you installed Nero 7 over the top of Nero 6 which isn't a particularly good idea. You might want to uninstall your current version of Nero 7 and then run both the Nero 6 and Nero 7 Clean Tools. Then install the latest version of Nero 7. Be sure to write down your Nero serial number someplace. You'll need it to reinstall. http://www.nero.com/nero6/enu/Nero_6_CleanTool.html http://www.nero.com/nero7/enu/Nero7_CleanTool.html Nero 7 update: http://www.nero.com/nero7/enu/nero7-up.php The drive isn't identifying the actual maker of the -RW media you're using which isn't a good sign. Since you have the Nero suite, put one of the RW disks in the burner, load up the Nero InfoTool and post back the actual manufacturer ID. It's listed under the Disc tab. Try using some +R or -R media like Verbatim or Sony/Fuji made in Japan. It may be the media causing the problem.
so is that my only problem and i live in a lil hick town in ohio where can i get some high quality media
I would advise to get some dvd+r or dvd-r instead of -rw. You can go to Circuit City, Best Buy, Office Max, Office Depot, or Staples to get some Verbatims. Or go buy Verbatims or Taiyo Yudens from online store. Can't recommend any online places as I have always brought my dvds in B&M
Thanks for the help the whole time i thought i was doing something wrong when it was the dvd's kinda suck i just bought a bundle of em
Hi. It may still be something else, but we need to rule out media as the culprit. ConvertX is pretty foolproof. So we're left with bad quality burns as the likely cause. Any number of things can cause bad burns. Media is an obvious one and a good starting point.
