Hey, recently I bought a CyberHome DVD Recorder / Player and it plays DVDs fine, until I tried to play some DVD-Rs of movies I burned from my computer that contained MPEG files. I don't know why it's having a problem, because I played the DVDs fine on my Xbox, until it broke. The movies are just a bunch of Green squares, and there is audio, but the video is just squares. So, what can I do to fix the problem? or should I just get a different DVD player?
Well, I used the same Media and it worked on my Xbox. So I'm kinda confused how that would work. I use Legacy 8x DVD-Rs. I used WinAVI to convert my mpeg to DVD, then I tried converting the mpeg to AVI to DVD for some reason, and that didn't work either. Any other ideas?
Well firstly I think Rotary is trying to be gentle, in explaining the way you posed. your question lacked details; .re. did you convert the mpeg files??? Secondly Russreef It may well be a media problem, but let's follow the thread. thirdly rflem04 No two PCs' are the same, what works fer you, don't work fer me. a bit like folk, if yer think about it I thing Rotarys' got this one right.. gringle
hi i mentioned divxtodvd as you are not the only person to get this problem lately and it is a new problem thats just appeared on afterdawn! and from what i have read there isnt a new app used, so apps that were used have been good to go before without a problem, now this could piont to media used but as yet i can not find a defining factor with this issue, although i think winAVI has been mentioned, so now there are 2 apps i think that have made discs and got this problem so far, which are winavi and divxtodvd, another factor is that it wasnt dvd to dvd, it was like yours a conversion of avi/mpeg to dvd which is interesting! as you say the part where your disc plays good on the xbox and not on other players is odd for me? i wonder if it is media but its on the borderline ok? its not basicaly a good 100% burnt film and the dye type mixed in with the burn technique (encoder) isnt a rock steady combination! if it were me i would try a pro app/apps meaning use avi2dvd / CCE and if it comes out the same i would plum for the media, if its A-O-K then the apps used are suspect! but as i say its new here and still being talked over!
I'm downloading AVI2DVD and if it doesn't work I'm taking back the DVD player tomorrow, and I'm just going to buy a new one, with DivX support and mpeg support and such, I think that will help, don't ask me why, but I do. The CyberHome 1600 seems kinda cheap, but then again, I hear that DVD recorders aren't really good for playback right now.
hi i spose theres cheap and cheap but most here will tell you expensive dvd players can be very select and not play some discs! i got 5 real cheapo dvd players and they play anything i chuck at it! they are usually the best!
hi before you take the player back download dvd indentifier and tell us the ID codes of the discs you are useing! they could be the fault! [bold]INTERESTING!!! your dvd player is a dvd recorder - ermmm????[/bold] i wonder if this is the defineing factor we need to know!!!
I've read some threads, and most of them say that people think the Recorder DVD players just aren't ready for DVD-R/RW playback, so I'm thinkinng that this is the problem. So, I think I am just going to go buy some real cheap DVD players until I find one that plays everything. Which shouldn't take long.
