I have a philips DVD+ RW DVD8631. When I make movies they only play on my computer they do not play on any of my dvd players that are on my tv is there something that i am doing wrong please help
Do a search of these forums for the problems with that burner. There are a multitude of posts. But, to answer your question, first, make sure that you have the latest firmware update for that burner, and second, try a different brand of media.
How old are your players?? By chance if they are around 3 years old they may only play -R type media. Most older players could not play +R media. Jerry
I would also check the burn speed. I believe that anything higher than 4x can create problems. What kind of media do you use? MovieDud
the only place the burn dvd will work is on a portable dvd player yet when a friend burns with the same software {dvd shrink 3.2 and nero} his dvds work on my dvd players that are on my tvs
@aata, I haven't seen what type of media that you use, the age of your players, or how fast do you burn the movies? This information can help us help you. I have several movie that play on anything, except my father-in-laws dvd player (his player is older and only capable of playing -R media!) My burners can be booktype, which allows them (the media) to be played in a more of a variety of players. Any infor. can help. MovieDud
thankyou for all the help i installed the new firmware for the burner and everything is working fine thank you again
aata, the new firmware made the burner more compatable with your media. That is why it plays now. Tom
