jmet Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Welcome to the forum streetmachine! Have you been successful playing DVD+RW's before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetmachine Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 I have never tried before... I did everything as it said, and it burned ok, it just wont play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmet Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Can you give me the brand name of the burner and the model # of the burner? Also can you give me the brand name and model # of the DVD player you tried using. It could be very well that they do not support DVD+RW disc.

jmet Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 (edited) Well, your drive/burner should be able to play it, as it does support DVD+RW disc. - http://www.videohelp.com/dvdwriters.php?DV...list=2#comments Edited October 7, 2005 by jmet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmet Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Windows Media Player is highly unrelieable in playing DVD's! I really do suggest in using a different player, such as MPC (Media Player Classic). MPC is totally different than WMP. Go here to download MPC - http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...ackage_id=84358 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
