    don't auto burn with nero 8 if you are . its causing problems. transcode a iso file to the HDD then manually burn with nero. dvd flick is a great program so give it a try

    I would try imgburn instead and see if you have the same problem/

    also make sure your using good blank media like Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim burning between 4x and 8x max. this is Important.

    which format of disc are you using? if your using the DVD plur R format try booktyping them to DVD-ROM, that makes the m more compatible with most DVD players or try using the DVD dash R format

    Roxio drag to disc can cause conflit problems if you have it installed. If i was you i would dump it since you have nero your good and imgburn is freeware its really all you need

    this is a common problem with new members who don't have much experience.......
    there are plenty of reasons why certain dvds won't play in other players:

    1. burning speeds: burn at 4x so there will be less writing errors (rule of thumb is to burn at half the rated speed of the disk--8X disk burn at 4x).
    2. read manual for your stand alone player and use the disks that will play in your player. If your player is less than 2 yrs old then it should play the + or - R disks! I said SHOULD that's why you read the manual.
    3. try booktyping your drive to DVd-ROM so it will make your +R disks more compatible to players. Read this:
    http://k-probe.com/bitsetting-booktype-faq.php
    4. make sure that there are no finger prints or scratches on your disk that make it hard for the player to read the disk!
    5. use good quality media (rule of thumb....buy the ones that are Made in Japan.) Verbatim is a top notch disk and is the only exception to this rule....some Verbatims are made in Taiwan and they are top notch! I only use Taiyo Yuden, which I think is the best disks made and will stop problems like this!
    6. and don't burn too close to the outer edge of the disk ..... which will make the disk unreadable! but using good media you will be able to burn close to the edge better than lesser quality media. Just in case I only burn no closer than 4400MB, so if you can set your programs to that, all the better!

    follow these little tips of the trade and you'll have better success! good luck.

    also read this:

    why the +R media is better than the -R media

    using quality media stops many problems!

    have you tryed a better brand of DVDs (Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim) other then the crappy hp media you have been using? and your burn speed is? 8x max is what you want.

    its not nero , don't advertise in here you have a pirated version of nero 8 please edit that
