    Any advise , thanks

    Please provide a little more information: Programs used, methods, etc. and possibly a burn log.

    Try a different brand/type of media, even if the same media worked before.

    I would suggest Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden, and burn at 8x speed, or less. Some players are picky about home-brew movies.

    Format is also important.

    The -R format is normally heralded as being widely acceptable for most standalones.

    If using the +R format...make sure to booktype to DVD-ROM for the best compatibility.

    Good suggestion on the booktype, but I would guess that over half of the new burners don't booktype, and for the most part, it isn't needed with the newer set top players, when using +R media.

    It could be the burner starting to show it's age as well. Are these the same brand/speed disks as usual? Lots of older dvd players are having major problems with some of the 16x disks. They seem unable to actually see the disks at all.
