trouble playing burnt dvd

I just burned my first dvd. I have a Sony DVD-ROM DDU1615 and a Philips DVD+-RW DVD8631 on a Dell 8400. I'm using Dvd Shrink and Dvd Decrypter. I thought it went smoothly until I tried to play back the burnt dvd and it wouldn't play. Normally when I put in a dvd it goes right to Windows Media Center and starts, anyway wouldn't recognize it. I tried it in my Jvc in the living room and it played like a dream. What gives?

 

May not like the disc used, what brand is it?

Try another brand aswell just to rule it out.

 

Maxell DVD+R 8x. Thanks for quick reply

 

Did it play ok in the burner that produced it?

I am just wondering wether your Sony requires a firmware update in order to support the media....

 

It played great in the burner as well as my x-box.

 

I would have a look at the Sony website and see if there is a firmware update available for your dvdrom, as from what I have read, this is the only one you are having trouble with........

 

Thanks for your help. There are no updates available yet.

 

yeah, ive burnt dvds and put them into a friends dvd player and they wont work, but they will play fine in mine, I tend to think that the cheaper the dvd player the better chance you have of it working.
