Thanks to all for their thoughts on this. I always thought that there were more DVD-R players around. At any rate most of my friends have these, which is why I am trying to burn to this format (it's a concert). My computer system burner is a Sony DRU-510A (and yes, it is a dual burner)and my music system player is a Sony DVP-NC685V, which does not recognize the format of this particular DVD+R, which is another reason I'm trying to change formats. My Go-Video Recorder does recognize it, which helps me but not anyone to whom I send the disc.
Ok we understand the reasoning. What problems error codes are you having when trying to copy to other disc? Does your Sony DRU-510A recognize the original disc you are trying to copy when loaded?
Boy I sure got a bug going here LOL Just my observation at store level, Koss sold by SEARS U.S $32.00 plays both formats, but has a hard time to read Memorex, Sears Sony U.S $69.00 plays both media reads all well, Zenith Sold by Stero Plus Canada 2years ago, CAN $140.00, played just Plus, and on and on if you walk through any electroinics dept. at any store you will notice of the players they offer for sale are 2-3 will play both,1-2 will play DVD- and the 4-5 will play DVD+, I just saying what I have been seeing and when someone goes and buys for the first time they dont know theres a difference and the it goes on like this, I burn but cant watch, If my %s were off I will Take this time to say EXCUSE ME, But its the point I was trying to make, ASK before you buy Batman400
I don't have a problem copying it on my Sony DRU-510A: it'll even do it on a DVD-R disc, but the format is not playable on music system player, Sony DVP-NC.
well, Batman, from almost everything I've read, about 95% or so play -R and about 85% or so play +R. And from personal experience, that's probably about right. Maybe whatever store you're shopping at has something against players that play -R? Did you actually put movies in and try to play them or did you read this from the boxes or did a sales clerk tell you this? I hope you're not taking this personal, we just don't like to see people misinformed. I know I've had the smack laid down on me a time or two in the past.
Gary, Maybe you need to booktype your dvd+r to dvd-rom (most compatable format). I pretty sure your Sony dvdrw is capable of doing this. You will need a bitsetting tool. Lite-on has their own tool but you can also use other tools (nero, dvdinfopro, are just a couple). Sony probably has their own bitsetting tool. Late Sony's are made by Lite-on.
No I can take it Like I said its just what I notice and as far as a salesman telling you what a machine will do well we all have been there, he wants the sale and I was just putting in my 2 cents but I guess it was worth just 1, LOL I will mind my Ps and Qs thanks for watching my back And everyone needs a good butt kicking every now and then When Iam wrong Iam wrong !!!!!
