Guest Bubba Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Hi all. I have a Pioneer DVR 106 +-RW. Max rate is 16x (although I never go above 8 for compatibility reasons). Anyway, up until recently, I had no problems burning DVD (RW, R+, R-). I burnt a movie last evening onto a Sony DVD+R (rated a 16x, but I burnt at 8x). No errors and nothing reported but success. I cannot play the DVD on my system, but it works fine on three different DVD players in my house as well as two neighbors. The specific Windows XP errors starts as follow: "Windows cannot read from ... Perhaps it was recorded in a format incompatible..." I use Pinnacle for most of my work, but for burning DVD movies that need no editing (such as AVI rips etc), I use ImTOO and Cucusoft AVI converter. I have the latest versions as of June of this year - never had this issue prior to last evening. Both have work flawlessly (as has Pinnacle). All three programs report successful burns, but I still can't read (play) on my system. I've tried slowing the burn rate to 2 x (I understand that this is not ideal and can cause problems), again they work fine on other DVD players. Finally, I burnt the movies onto a DVD +-RW with absolutely no problems. So, I then tried Maxell DVD R+- media and the same results. I've tried straight R+, R- and slower rated DVD media. So, I then replaced my DVD RW with a new device. Same results. Now I update Nero to 6.6.1.15c with INcd 4.3.23.2. Still the same problems. Newest 80 wire IDE cable etc. I mean, I make sure this system has the right stuff. I'm convinced this is a Windows XP thing. As stated above, I've never had these problems and this multi-media system has nothing new added at anytime. It's been stable for a long time and I've never had this problem before. I would really appreciate any insight that anyone has. Thanks...
Guest Bubba Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Re: DVD +- R and Windows. SORRY, let me add a little more info. With regard to DVD media, it doesn't matter if I burn movies or data. The same result, I cannot read it on my system Now, the same is not true for CD media. Slideshows and data burn just fine on CD (r- and r+) media. And I can read the media no problems. Cheers..
