Hi there I am new to backing up music DVD's etc I have backed up some music DVD's using DVD Shrink when I play them back on my Computers DVD player all is fine when I play them on my home DVD all is fine but I have tried one or two on a friends older DVD player and get a disc error message. Help appreciated
Hiya, There are 6 main standards (types) of DVD: 1 - DVD-ROM (the commercial pressed disks you buy) 2 - DVD-R (writable that follows the "minus" standard) 3 - DVD-RW (re-writable that follows the "minus" standard) 4 - DVD+R (writable that follows the "plus" standard) 5 - DVD+RW (re-writable that follows the "plus" standard) 6 - DVD-RAM (re-writable that follows the DVD-RAM standard) Most MODERN players will accept -R and +R media. Quite a few will accept -RW and +RW media. Some will only accept -R and -RW media. Some will only accept +R and +RW media. Of the older players (especially those made by Big Names) most will only accept -R media. ALL will accept DVD-ROM media (unless they are faulty, of course). Have a look at this site to check the player compatability: http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers Have Fun... _X_X_X_X_X_[small]Life is just more of the same:[/small]
