movies that iv,e burned play on one magnavox player but another model with the same name will not, including my player witch is a GP there both saying incorrect disc format.I,m using vso divxtodvd to convert the files its a bit slow but its for free is there anything faster, and also when usin ashampoo burning studio theres sometimes enough room for two movies on the 4.7g disc but only the first goes on.
I had issues with my rca dvd player and after some research purchased a cyberhome $29 dvd player and it is the friggin bomb never had a problem since and I use the paid version of the same software you are using. I would suggest getting a new player or finding out if there is a firmware upgrade for both or one of you dvd players usually you can download them to a dvd insert the disc in the player and it will perform a software/firmware update on you player. Check with the manufacturers website.
Everyone seems to have a brand of choice but that isn't as important although I would agree with the 4x write speed. When it comes to what discs to use there are lots of threads debating and discussing so many brands and preferences.
