My DVD won't play in my DVD player...

[tschultzpiano]

My DVD player won't play my newly burned DVD. I have 3 DVD players in my house, and actually only one of them will play it. Shouldn't burned DVDs play in any player??? I'm getting frustrated, because I thought I was finally successful! It also won't play in my Playstation 2.

 

I'm using a Memorex DVD+R ... I don't know if this really affects it. If you say that is the solution, if I go out and buy better disks - DVD-R??? - is this guaranteed to play in my DVD players then??

 

I burned .Vobs will all the proper .ifo and .bup files, etc. I thought everything should work..but it's not.

 

Here is my log:

Try with Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden blanks. Also try burning at 4x to see if you get a better burn.

Older stand alone players can have problems playing burned discs. How old are those that won't play? -R media worked better for me in the old time when my DVD player had issues playing burned discs.

They aren't too old..maybe a few years at the most. The one that does work is fairly new I believe.

 

When you used -R media, did it always work?

 

Does anyone know if I use -R media if it will work for sure in my DVD players? Or what a way is to make sure it works?

Buy a small package with 10 discs of -R Verbatim or similar good quality brand. The only way to know if it works in your players, is to try.

 

It could also be worth to run a cleaning disc in the players. They do attract dust.
