Sabe 2,444 Report post Posted March 17, 2008 Hey, got a bit of an odd issue, wondering if anyone has any ideas... I burned a number of eps from one of my favorite shows to DVD, but it refuses to play on my player. It's weird because I've played burned DVD's before, but even my 360 refuses to play this one... Any thoughts? Quote "There's no such thing as can't.

Ladywriter 7,783 Report post Posted March 17, 2008 did you use a dvd- or dvd + ? Sometimes thats it Quote Look at the flowers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gokuDX7 2,871 Report post Posted March 17, 2008 also did you remember to un-check the regional code that most burners have on by default? Most of the time when you burn it will use the EU regional code. If it does, the dvd wont work on any player thats USA regional specific. So its better to just turn that feature off.

Sabe 2,444 Report post Posted March 20, 2008 Well, it's a DVD+ firstly, and I honestly have no idea what the major difference is... As per the regional code, I was looking, but I can't turn it off on my drive. If I knew where else to look to do it, I'd look, but as far as I know, it's only in the drive properties area and it only gives me a list of regions I an change to, but not to turn the region off or to '0'. Ideas? Quote "There's no such thing as can't.

gokuDX7 2,871 Report post Posted March 20, 2008 no no, not your drive, you have to keep it off on your burner software. If you've never had issues with running your burnt DVD's before with your software then forget what I said. If you still want to check, when you start a burning process there should be an option to turn regional code on or off make sure its either off or set to whatever regional code your DVD player supports.

the56ker 100 Report post Posted March 20, 2008 also depends on the software your using sometimes ive had a few programs multi-layer the disc and that pretty much made it useless in my dvd player Quote [sIGPIC] http://forums.ancientclan.com/signaturepics/sigpic1654_3.gif[/sIGPIC] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sledgstone 8,672 Report post Posted April 5, 2008 For some reason my dvd players have random issues when playing a DVD+R disk.. but I've never had any problem with any dvd player playing DVD-R disks. From talking with other people with similar issues, it looks like minus R disks, for some reason, work much better in the majority of dvd players.
