Guest hannas_mom Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I used to be able to burn DVDs from videos I've saved on my computer, but now am not able to view the DVDs once they "burn"... the DVD players in my house can't read the disks, even though it seems like they're burning properly on the computer. Do I have the wrong drive path, or ??? I have NO idea where to start with fixing this! Thanks

Most TV DVD players tend to usually read mostly DVD-R media.

Most TV DVD players tend to >>usually read mostly DVD-R media.<< Most *older* TV DVD readers. Most current to a few years old read DVD+r just fine. It could be cheap media, the DVD writer may be failing, need firmware updates, etc.

Why take a chance with the incompatibities of the newer standard (at least with the somewhat older players)? I've had better luck sticking with the DVD-R format.
Guest Tom [Pepper] Willett Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Re: DVD burning I've been using DVD+R for a couple of years for duplicating movies...they work on every TV DVD player I've tried. I'm doing so because of advice from many experts in the field.
