Hello everyone i need some help..i just recently starting converting torrent files to dvd using winavi..the process goes fine, but for some reason after the movie finish burning when i go to play it on (1 of 3) of my dvd player it says "disc error" and want play,but then i take it to the other players including friend house it plays fine,to other friends "want play again".. whats the deal with this? why want they play on all dvd players..anything im doing wrong?
I don't think you're necessarily doing anything wrong. I don't know what media you're using but some players just don't like some media. Switching to different or better quality media can sometimes overcome the problem. It's also possible that if you're using +R media and if your burner supports bitsetting, you might booktype the burned disk as DVD-ROM which might "encourage" the bulky player to play back the disk. Sometimes burning at a slower speed like 4X can provide a better quality burn and alleviate the problem. Youy might also try DVD Flick, a free conversion program that works very well. http://www.dvdflick.net/
just to add my 2 cents: here are plenty of reasons why certain dvds won't play in other players: 1. burning speeds: burn at 4x so there will be less writing errors (rule of thumb is to burn at half the rated speed of the disk--8X disk burn at 4x). 2. read manual for your stand alone player and use the disks that will play in your player. If your player is less than 2 yrs old then it should play the + or - R disks! I said SHOULD that's why you read the manual. 3. try booktyping your drive to DVd-ROM so it will make your +R disks more compatible to players.

Verbatim is a top notch disk and is the only exception to this rule....some Verbatims are made in Taiwan and they are top notch! 6. and don't burn too close to the outer edge of the disk ..... which will make the disk unreadable! but using good media you will be able to burn close to the edge better than lesser quality media. Just in case I only burn no closer than 4400MB, so if you can set your programs to that, all the better! follow these little tips of the trade and you'll have better success! good luck. also read this: http://www.cdfreaks.com/reviews/Why-DVDRW-is-superior-to-DVD-RW/ why the +R media is better than the -R media
