[markbuhay]

i burned a dvd file onto a dvd cd using imgburn. when i played it on my dvd player, it didnt play but it plays on my pc. any settings i should change? i used dvdflick to convert my avi to dvd then burned it with imgburn.

Hi and welcome to the forum, markbuhay!

 

The source was the same PAL/NTSC as your player supports?

 

Any problems to play other burned discs on that stand alone player?

 

You could post a log from that burn. You'll find it here:

hi cynthia thanks for replying and for the warm welcome. actually on aug 16, i used dvd flick and left it overnight. the next day, when i checked my pc imgburn failed. i just dont remember what it said. hopefully its on this log.

 

the source was the same- NTSC

so far, no problems playing burned disc on my stand alone player.

Assuming this was the disc you have problem with, it looks as your reader had problems to read it after the write. Tried a 4x burn?

Have you forced ImgBurn to do this? If you didn't then the drive didn't properly recognize that media, which is crap anyway. Try with better media, such as Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden blanks, and see if it works

@cynthia

yup, that's the disc. i was wondering why the writer ejected and went back in again. that's when i saw this " W 16:43:36 Waiting for device to become ready..." but when i played it back in my pc , it did. i chose auto on the speed.should i choose 4x? i'll try using a slower speed. thanks for the advice.

 

@mmalves

yes, i think i foced imgburn. thanks also for the advice.

 

it looks like the media i was using was the culprit? thanks for the help. i'll try to buy another disc and see how it goes.
