Hi, i just donwloaded a .iso file of a dvd from the net. I put in my dvd+rw disc (x4) in my burner, and loaded the .iso file in. I then just hit go. It made the disc fine but it wont play on my computer or my dvd player...

 

does anyone know what i have done wrong ??

Welcome to the forum streetmachine!

 

Have you been successful playing DVD+RW's before?

[streetmachine]

I have never tried before... I did everything as it said, and it burned ok, it just wont play...

[jmet]

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.

[streetmachine]

am just burning it again now, will post the log file results...

 

thanks for the welcome too

Ok, let us know how it comes out.

 

You're very welcome too! Glad I could help.

[streetmachine]

the burner definatley supports the media, and my DVD player is almost brand new, so it should play fine... i am soooo confused !

[streetmachine]

ok burnt it again, my computer recogninses the DVD in drive, when i try to play it in Windows Media player, i get ... Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.

 

but i can play any other DVD in WMP absolutely fine....

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

nope, only have one drive in my PC

[jmet]

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

You're very welcome! Glad you got it working properly!
