DVD plays on 1 player, but not the other

[lacollier883]

I have recently bought a Sony Vaoi FW41E and have encountered a problem using ImgBurn. The burn process runs smoothly, and the resulting disc plays on my Wharfedale DVD Recorder, Portable Goodmans DVD, and Xbox 360, but not on my Sumvision DVD/Divx Player. I am using the same discs I used on my old Sony Vaio which worked on all 4 players, although I used Nero for this mainly, occasionally using Imgburn.

 

I have reinstalled ImgBurn on my old Vaio, which I still have and encounter the same problem, when it was fine before. I have been and bought some other discs, and after burning got the same result. The DVD player says bad disc when entering

 

I am thinking it is either my DivX/DVD player or something I am doing wrong with Imgburn, which I am relatively new too.

 

Any help on whether Imgburn seems fine from my log would be appreciated

Hi and welcome to the forum, lacollier883!

 

The burn looks ok (but you should burn something with the 'Verify' option enabled to rule out any re reading problems for the burning part).

 

If all you other players can play the disc - it sounds to me as the player might need to be in contact with a DVD optical head cleaning disc.

 

Destination Media Type: DVD+R

As the Verify part of the log is not here, it might be that you could/already have those discs book typed to 'DVD-ROM'. Not all burners have this feature.

Thanks cynthia

 

I tried burning a disc but don't think it verified but here is the full log. I have bolded a line of it, is that what you mean by set discs book typed to 'DVD-ROM. Or am I barking up the wrong tree. If it helps I grabbed a trial version of Nero 9 and it burned the disc fine but failed to play on the same player. I will get hold of a DVD Cleaner ASAP and see if that makes any difference. Any further advice is appreciated

 

EDIT. If it helps my divx player is still reading old discs

I have used a DVD Lens cleaner but am still encountering the same problem, is there any problems with the new log I posted, if not I will take it my Divx player is knackered

Without verifying the burn everything looks ok. Do it again and turn on verify please.

Looks to me as a good burn that should be possible to play in a stand alone player. If you still get issue - try to clean the laser head of that stand alone player that refuses to play.

I have done that, it is confusing me, all my burns play on 3 different players, just not on this one, anything burned before I changed laptop last week worked fine on the player that is not working now. I thought it was the burner in my new laptop, so tried a burn with my old laptop and it didnt work on the dodgy player.

 

I have tried a DVD lens cleaner disc, is there anything else I can do

 

Failing that I will have to try and find a DivX player that will play them, cheers for all the help

Stand alone players do wear out and as they can be played on the other players it sounds as it's time to get a new one.
