Burned DVD plays in WinXP but not with MacOS or PS3


Recommended Posts

Apologies if the question is stupid but I could not find the answer in the guides, faq or the forum.

I burned my first DVD (a DVD-R with content from DVD Shrink) with ImgBurn the other day. The DVD plays without problems on my WinXP laptop, on my WinXP desktop but it fails to play completely on my iMac and on my PSX. Is there a compatibility switch I failed to activate somewhere ?

 

Apparently the Sony PSX should be able to write and read DVD-R.....

Does it play on a standalone DVD player?

I don't have a standalone DVD player :(

PSX is supposed to be one though

Here it is.

I tried again with the same original DVD but this time by using DVD Fab to copy the initial files instead of DVD Shrink, then creating an ISO file and then writing the ISO file. This time it worked fine.

The problem may be linked to DVD Shrink.....

Where's everyone getting these awful discs from just lately and who's recommending they buy them?!

 

PRINCO are cheap rubbish, invest in some decent 8x ones by Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden.
