buecrab Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Is it possible to burn a DVD with image burn that will play back on DVD players in Honda Odyssey van ? The ones I have burned all play fine on home DVD players but will not play in factory installed Honda DVD players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevdriver Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 buecrab, check out your owners manual that came with the odessey, there might be a line or two in the section that has to do with DVD entertainment unit, which tells you what kind of discs ( -r, +r, etc.. ) that are reconized by the installed player. Which format did you burn to ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which format did you burn to ? I am using DVD+R . Owners manual does not specify + or - media BUT it does say that DVD-ROMs cannot be played and I have think my Imgburn set up to burn as DVD-ROM - going to check it out know and burn another one with different setting. Thanks Kev - ya wouldn't think someone that has run an auto garage for 25 years should have to be told to read the car owners manual but it never occurred to me !

I also thought store bought DVD's were DVD-ROM - But I checked manual again and it clearly says DVD_ROMs cannot be played in this system. It does say DVD Video, Region 1 and Region all WILL play. What do you mean by bitset to something else ? I have a plextor 716A burner. I am also trying a few settings & re-burning discs - when I just tried to open a burned disc w/ Shrink to make new ISO file - got message that this disc ( one I had already copied w/ shrink then img burn ) was R.C.E. encoded ?? So Maybe I screwed up a couple - I'll let u know what happens after I re-burn with RCE removed. Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buecrab Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 is it a DVD player, or is it a dvd drive for a sat nav unit It is a factory installed DVD player - not a sat navigation unit . I have found that some burned DVDs play and some Don't - Problem is I have been burning ALL my DVDs the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornholio7 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 can you post a log of a burn please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polopony Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 are you burning all your discs to the same media .You might have to experiment with media to find which the player likes.You say some will play others not find one that plays and then put it in the burner with IMGburn open and the program will tell you who the dye manufacturer is for example these are Verbatim -R discs .I think Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden discs are the only way to go you dont have to worry about their quality its A1 and I havent found a player that didn't like them.If your discs came up CMC MAG I wouldn't be suprised Pre-recorded Information: Manufacturer ID: MCC 03RG20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buecrab Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 can you post a log of a burn please? oops ! - I have not been saving logs. I have now changed settings to save every log in a folder without overwriting existing. However it may be a while before i get more dvd's to copy and test. when i make one that will not play in the van i will have that log. Thanks all for help and time. I will save all logs and re-post when i have something that will not work - thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevdriver Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 That possibly might be the problem right there, DVD unit in van doesn't like CMC MAG, as do any of us.................. This is a prety cruddy disc dye, lots of people have problems with their players reading these brand of discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfcrule1972 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I still think CMC MAG's profit must come from one shot purchases before people realise the error of the shittest of all the discs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
