won't show on regular dvd's

[max10]

I burned ok but the disc can only be seen on the computer thru windows not on the dvd connected to the tv. should i have done something else to the disc first ? this is my 1st burn with this program.thanks

sounds like one of the following

 

your player does not support the type of disc you used ,

ie you used a +R disc and the player will only deal with -R

or maybe a re-writable disc ( RW)and the player only supports +/-R

 

the TV format of what you burned to disc is not supported by your player. ie you burned a European ( PAL ) TV format subject to disc and your trying to play it on a USA ( NTSC ) TV format player

 

ImgBurn finishes off the disc for you, so if you've left at default settings then , No , you don't have to do anything else to be able to play i on other players

 

try the disc on any other available dvd player round the home or one of your friends players

ideally you need to find what formats your player will handle

the majority of PC drives will happily play both, and an O.S will handle both as well , unlike standalone players and TV's

 

you could goggle the make and model of player to see what types of format it WILL play ( if youve lost the handbook)

You can also search the model number at the link above for info on the player

I've found book typing +R discs to be good for playing on stand alone players if your burner is listed.

All my players have always played DVD+R without hassles but it is a good point
