I would appreciate it if "ANYONE could help with tips, suggestions, insight on a problem I'm having. I am trying to make photo slide shows for the tv. A friend showed me one that was made for him and it played fine on both of my players and obviously plays fine on his and others. I started out doing them on CD-R's in VCD format, with Nero 6's NeroVison Express 3 "Make Photo Slide Show" This worked fine on "one" of my DVD players which is a Toshiba SD-1800U. But it didn't play on the other Funai F100DB, the player didn't recognize the disk. I then remembered that my friends disk was a DVD disk. So I went and purchased a DVD R/RW drive for my PC. I then tried to burn the slide shows onto a DVD+R disk, but got the same results. It ran fine on the Toshiba, but not the Funai. So I searched the net and seen a few things saying that DVD+R will not play on alot of Home DVD Players, but DVD-R would play on most players. So I bought some DVD-R disks and got the same results. It ran fine on the Toshiba, but not the Funai. So i'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong? I got 2 different types of disk, DVD-R & DVD+R, and neither will run on the Funai. I'm wanting to make these as gifts for my family. But I need to be assured that it will run on everyones player before I start making copies. Anyway, I'd appreciate any help, tips, insight on the matter. Thanks For Your Time. Steve K.
not all dvd players play dvd R disks check the specs on yours it could also be to higher burn speed keep it at 4X or a media issue use only quality media verbatim sony or taiyo and edit out your email address
I've checked the specs on both DVD Players, they both say they run DVD-R the Funai say's it don't run DVD+R. I also just check the Record options in Nero and it has the following settings: MAX 2X(3324 KB/S) 2X(2770 KB/S) 1X(1385 KB/S) It was on MAX, so should I try 2X since there is no 4X option? By the way my burner is 16X and I am using Philips disks which are 1-8X, are these not a good brand of disk's?
philips arent great try one of the three I mentioned a lower speed wont hurt give it a try and try cleaning the laser in your dvd player with a laser cleaning disk and stick with the dvd-R's
