Bought the 642 yesterday. I burned movie file to DVD with NERO to treat DVD as a Data Disk. Put DVD into 642 and it "loaded" for about 30 seconds then said Playing on the display. However All i got was the Blue Phillips Screen. I went in and made sure the Divx Menu was on. Restarted the player , and after many seconds the CD menu popped up showing the movie file. I selected it , but just got Blue screen again. After about 3 minutes the player ejected the disk itself. Did I burn the DVD wrong ? BTW its a 643/37
I'm Having about the same problem... Read the thread started 2 days ago by tontonel. As long as you can see the file on your tv, it should work. If the file is not recognized you get a question mark "?" where the file is. If it's playable you get a "mpeg4" sign or a microsoft windows logo sign for the .asf and the .wmv movies. Did you try to play the same dvd on your computer ? Did it work ?
Tontonel, I saw your 2 Posts and also Saw that Nobody had replied. I have seen another poster on this list who said he was having success with MPEG to DVD, I think it was Quam or something like this.
If your going straight dvd 2 dvd-r......use dvdshrink. Cant go wrong with that and it has its own burner built in.
