Burned discs won't play on dvd player

[lasercat]

Hi, I've burned some .wmv files to dvd-rw (Sony) w/ Imgburn, using build mode. They play wonderfully on my PC but my dvd player (Toshiba~5 yrs old) gives me a check disc/disc error display. Can someone point me in the right direction? Is it time to buy a new player? Thanks!

Build mode burn 'as-is', so unless your player says it can play WMV files, that'll be why the discs aren't working.

 

Use something like DVD Flick or ConvertXtoDVD to convert the WMV into proper DVD Video files/discs.

This is the 3rd thread you have posted in dare2winitall with exactly the same issue. Can we just stay in this thread and cure your problem there please? It is VERY frustrating having you post the same thing 3 times in 3 separate places.

My dvd player can play .wmv files burned to disc when I use my other burning application (Cyberlink by LG, an old version that was included with the drive).

Can you post a burn log from ImgBurn - it might show something that explains why it can't be played.

 

You'll find it here: Main Menu -> Help -> ImgBurn Logs

Yes I will! I've found the Imgburn log, will you please tell me how to post it?

Just copy and paste it into a window as the one you wrote your last post in. You only need to post the one of that burn.

i think Cyberlink is an authoring program ( what comes with LG writers ), which converts the wmv's to DVD compliant structure before burning to disc.

 

ImgBurn is ONLY a burning program so you will need to convert your files to DVD compliant structure first before using ImgBurn to put those compliant files onto a disc.

Okay, thanks! Can anyone recommend a converter application (preferably freeware)?
