I recently bought a new computer with a built in dvd_rw I have some files on my pc that I want to burn so I can then play them on my dvd player. I bought some blank dvd-r disks (no idea if these are right or not) and I am using Nero 6 pro. I can copy the dvds and I think I am selecting the correct format but it won't play on my dvd player though it does play on my computer... Can u recommend some software that will let me burn movies and then play them on my dvd player or any ideas where I might be going wrong?? Thanks Pam
some of it is about compatibility on your standalone players,check them out with this chart. http://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers.php good luck and welcome to the forum jD
hi use dvd identifier or dvdinfo pro to tell you and us what the id codes are for those discs! also is it a dvd to backup copy you are doing? or are they converted files from avi say? to burn with nero burning rom look below...
welcome to the forum......if your disk works on the computer and not your standalone then it's not compatible with your standalone..... listen to Jim... he knows his stuff. Also use good DVD media, NOT MEMOREX! If you want the best ones Taiyo Yuden (which you can buy online only: http://supermediastore.com/taiyo-yuden-silver-thermal-8x-dvd-plus-r-media.html), Maxell, Verbatum, Sony, TDK are the best disks to use!

Thanks for your help... I don't think it is compatibility with my stand alone machine, I made a copy of a film that I bought and this works fine. I think it must be the files that I am trying to burn, I have tried to do AVI and MPEG1. I downloaded dvdidentifier and I got this: Unique Disc Identifier : [DVD-R:CMC MAG. AE1] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disc & Book Type : [DVD-R] - [DVD-R] Manufacturer Name : [CMC Magnetics Corp.] Manufacturer ID : [CMC MAG. AE1] Blank Disc Capacity : [2,298,496 Sectors = 4.71 GB (4.38 GiB)] [ DVD Identifier - http://DVD.Identifier.CDfreaks.com ] Pam
Jim that's absolutely right........ http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm check this page out and you'll see that your CMC is a very low class media and not very reliable..... it's hit or miss....get some Taiyo Yuden disks or some TDK,Sony,VERBATUM,or Maxell and see if that makes a difference.,,,,,,,,,,, gezzzzzzzz do I sound like a broken record? Is this what you must go through all the time, Jim?
Some days are worse than others LOL But we were all newbies once, so you have to learn sometime. Memorex is usually more expensive than the good stuff. I use Taiyo Yuden and Verbatim,they usually dont run you more than 40 cents a piece,so why buy Memorex?
seemed like a good idea at the time, they were cheap and the first things I came across! Playing around I've nearly managed it now, thanks 4 all your help...
Your very welcome pam,and I bought memorex when I first started out so dont feel bad about that. If you have anymore questions....we will be here
I think we all started with Memorex...... now we know better! Thanks to the people in this forum~!!! with everyone's help we all succeed!
I have used DivX to DVD convertor, the DVD shrink and finally I am burning the DVD on DVD Decrypter to burn the dvd to disk. The film now plays fine on my stand alone except the peoples mouths and what they are saying are not in sync.. any tips? pam
hi was it an avi file? if so run it through divfix and check for errors then use strip and rebuild then pop into divxtodvd
