Using a Gateway (<1 yr old) with a Philips DVD +- RW SDVD 8820 with latest drivers. Burning to Maxell DVD-R. Does this help?
techman Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 maybe this thread will help. http://club.cdfreaks.com/f107/anyone-heard...dvd8820-181030/
tat2mikki Posted October 11, 2008 Author Posted October 11, 2008 Post a log I will do that, as soon as I run through encoding another iso file to try burning, I just deleted the latest one in total disgust since nothing was burning it.
LOCOENG Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 The logs should still be there unless you deleted them too. Imgburn/Help/logs
tat2mikki Posted October 12, 2008 Author Posted October 12, 2008 The logs should still be there unless you deleted them too. Imgburn/Help/logs Thanks, I looked in program files but never thought to check the program itself. Here are all the logs that were in the log file, it looks like a mess to me but maybe someone else can make sense of it ; //****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 - Log ; Saturday, 11 October 2008, 12:13:23 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 11:59:47 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

techman Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 reread my first post about you DVD player what model is it ?
tat2mikki Posted October 13, 2008 Author Posted October 13, 2008 reread my first post about you DVD player what model is it ? I read your first post about my model dvd player, but it does not explain why I have 1 movie that plays fine in my dvd player, and a whole bunch that play fine in my computer dvd players, but not in the regular one. What is the "playback feature" and how do I enable it?
tat2mikki Posted October 13, 2008 Author Posted October 13, 2008 try using different media. make sure your using latest firmware for dvd burner. try burning a half the speed of other burns. are you using DVD+R try DVD-R. if you bought a big batch of DVD+R and want to use them see if you can change the book type to DVD-ROM. what kind of dvd player you using if it old might be hard to get it to read anything? that all I can think of at the top of my head and the info you gave If you look at the first batch of logs I posted you'll see I was using DVD-R that someone said was crap. I switched to DVD+R. I changed from burning at 6X to burning at 4X. There is no new firmware for my dvd burner. And the movies play fine in the dvd burner and it reads all other media just fine. They just wont play in the regular dvd player attached to my tv, with the exception of one movie I burned (on the "crappy media", at 6x). And I have no idea what you mean by changing book type to dvd-rom
tat2mikki Posted October 13, 2008 Author Posted October 13, 2008 Sorry and the dvd player I'm trying to play them on is a Magnavox. Just checked the latest one in 2 other computer dvd drives and it works fine there so what do I need to do to these to make my magnavox read them?
mmalves Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Use the Verify mode to check the burned DVD against the source ISO image (this is needed to make sure the disc was properly burned).
tat2mikki Posted October 13, 2008 Author Posted October 13, 2008 Use the Verify mode to check the burned DVD against the source ISO image (this is needed to make sure the disc was properly burned). Yes it was just verified and completed successfully
tat2mikki Posted October 13, 2008 Author Posted October 13, 2008 If the Magnavox dvd player is crap, then what is a good inexpensive brand/model that will play these discs?
techman Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 if your using an older home player not sure as you didn't mention the model # it may not read DVD+R at all that why if the book type is set as DVD-ROM it fools the player into trying to reading the disc. If you use DVD-R media then the other problem will be the players ability to read the media so you might need to find the right media or use a newer dvd player. The reason for this is older players have a harder time reading burnt media where as your computer are much better at reading burned media. Burned media is a lot harder to read than store bought DVDs and CDs.
tat2mikki Posted October 13, 2008 Author Posted October 13, 2008 I cant get to the model # right now, my husband is watching a movie on it. I still dont understand what you mean by changing the book to dvd-rom. Where do I do that? What device or program? And it still doesnt explain why it reads 1 movie just fine but kicks out other movies burned on same burner, same media, with same software and give a "playback disabled" error on them.
techman Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 are the movies made using the same authoring software?
tat2mikki Posted October 13, 2008 Author Posted October 13, 2008 Yes and I have not changed any of the settings on the Avi2Dvd that was used to create the ISO image
techman Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 get the model of your home player. Heres a link to read up on setting book type and what its all about. Let me research some on the Avi2Dvd program. http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?t=74791
tat2mikki Posted October 13, 2008 Author Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) Model MWD2205 Magnavox according to this website I just found, it should be able to read dvd-r http://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers/magnavox-mwd2205/6287 Edited October 13, 2008 by tat2mikki
mmalves Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 For your drive try the BenQ tab of the Book Type dialog
techman Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 not much info on the player but I would guess its marginal on what media it works with this link so some info http://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers/magnavox-mwd2205/6287
