I've spent the last 6 months copying all my Family movies (on VHS) to DVD. I'm using a 'Pioneer DVR-420H' DVD Recorder with built in hard drive. I copy the movies onto the hard drive, edit them, then put them on DVD-R discs. After creating about 50 discs I've now, to my horror, found that the created discs will only play on my Pioneer DVD recorder !!! I've tried playing them on 8 other players including my PC and the Playstation as well as Sony,Grundig,Panasonic,Philips players, all fail to read the discs !! Why is this happening...If I had known that the discs wouldn't be playable on other machines I wouldn't have bought the Pioneer machine in the first place... I'm at a total loss as to why this is happening so any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks Paul
Hi there, I own an LG-LRH539 DVD Recorder. When burning to it, I assume it will burn at MAX speed. This is why it's important for me to use only premium quality media on it. [bold]Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim[/bold] Check your DVR Manual, if you do not [bold]finalize[/bold] those DVD-R they may still work in your recorder and no where else ! On mine, I record all I want, then I need to go to the menu and finalize my media. It's auto Generated me a menu, and closes the disk so it can play in a normal DVD player.
Try Verbatim dvd- and you should be able to recopy those disc what kind of files are they burned to some programs burn flies that are not read on all players
