volvofl10 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volvofl10 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altercuno Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I've found book typing +R discs to be good for playing on stand alone players if your burner is listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfcrule1972 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 All my players have always played DVD+R without hassles but it is a good point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
