ok so i used to use dvd + r and i just bought some -r and they wont playback in my dvd player...the player only about a year old.....and my burner supports both types of dics....could it be that even though my dvd player is newer it just wont support them? i tried doing a search for imfo but i couldn't find anything thanks Mike D
Yes, it's possible. You could do some more searching and find out exactly what media your player supports, and perhaps find your answer.
it is a panasonic dvd home theater sound system model # SC-HT670...i just looked at the the owners manual and it says it doesn't support dvd +r...which is wierd becasue thats what ive been using untill now...it says to play dvd-r it needs to be recorded and finalized...i use nero recode to burn, is there something special i have to do to finalize?
I have a Panasonci DVD-R E80H and no Panasonics will not play +R's unless they are booktyped to DVD-Rom, possibly your burner is capable of doing this automatically, or it is being done in Nero. What speed did you burn at and what media are you using. I use Recode all the time and my Panasonic has no troubles playing the burned disks.
it automatically does the fastest speed i think its 8x but im not sure...the wierd thing is that it says it does dvd -r but not +r....and it actually does the exact opposite
say arniebear i have a panasonic dvd home theater sound system model sa ht 930 and it plays dvd+r plays most formats but won't play dvix go it at bestbuy a few months back paid $415.00 good little surround sound 5.1. and they are not booktyped, i see a lot of people talking about doing that but myself never done that does it help with playback or other things?
Booktype to dvd-rom is the most compatible format all together....so yes a dvd booktyped to dvd-rom will play where others won't.
@mdevey See my signature for standalone DVD player compatibility. I suspect this DVD player is picky in what media it will play, which is true for many older Panasonics. The compatibility chart shows it will play "few DVD+" but supports DVD-. Since noone has asked this yet, please allow me. What brand of DVD- and + media are you using? Brands such as Memorex use media from a variety of suppliers, some not so good. My suggestions is to stick with what worked for you and explore the booktyping/bitsetting option if your burner supports this. Check out my signature for more info...
i use maxell dvd+r and the dvd-r's i bought are tdk....the fact that it plays the dvd+r dics but not the dvd-r ones is just strange since it should play the - and some +
