I am trying to create backups of my files, and want to be able to read them on another computer which only has a dvd-rom drive. Currently I am using a dvd+rw disk and nero (with a dvd+- r/rw drive to burn), but can only read the disk in my dvd +- drive. What am I doing wrong? - is it the media I am using (dvd + rw disks) or is it something else.
You still havent said what media you're using ... stating whether it is minus or plus format is totally irrelevant. Search guide section for step by step tutorial(s) !
Ritek G04 DVD-R X4 , Arita DVD+R X4 ... etc Also you didn't mention any of the software that you had used to back up your DVD !! Put ALL info , or we wont be able to help (because the symptoms you've explained are just too general). _X_X_X_X_X_[small] Afterdawn Guides: http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/ Afterdawn Rules: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/6346[/small]

Fred , are you burning VOB/BUP/IFO files to a VIDEO_TS folder in DVD-Video mode with Nero ? Have you ever backed up a DVD before ..? If you are using a RW (the Verbatim you're using should be fine as they're fairly good media) don't forget to finalize RW media ! (Other than that , have a 'search messages' & you'll find most answers have already been given at some point mate) _X_X_X_X_X_[small] Afterdawn Guides: http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/ Afterdawn Rules: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/6346[/small]
No, never had the pleasure of backing up on a DVD before.I am trying to back up digital images.Have finalised the dvd but still will not play in my Toshiba laptop but its fine on my desktop PC.Have tried it on a TDK dvd and the same happens-so its not the dvd. Thanks
[bold]Doohickey[/bold]: Yes mate , you have to do a 'full erase' but then you are left with a clean disc !! (even though it still looks like it has info/data on it). [bold]fred03[/bold]: If using Nero to back up data , I usually tick/check the 'Verify (after burn)' box. Also when you say digital images , that's quite a broad term .... care to elaborate ? _X_X_X_X_X_[small] Afterdawn Guides: http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/ Afterdawn Rules: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/6346[/small]
Hi- sorry for the delay. The images are jpg`s or tiffs photos.I now have the problem that when i ask it to verify it works fine with verbatim dvd+rw but fails the verification with Packard Bell dvd+R-even though they are exactly the same files. Thanks
Verbatimm is good media , where as I haven't heard such good things of Packard Bell... (Suggest you use Verbatim or Ritek media)
Heya Herbsman , Thanks from me too, matey! (I kinda forgot to check back here 'till now) Cheerio!, Doo
