Hi John, yes, Im afraid that in the world of DVDs and DVDRs, all things are very much NOT equal.
Hi John, yes, I’m afraid that in the world of DVDs and DVDRs, all things are very much NOT equal. I suggest you go to http://www.videohelp.com and check up on the compatibility of your player with the various different types of disk, also your DVD burner. If you can find a brand of disk that they are both happy with, then you will be off to a good start. Other things which may be affecting this problem, are the make and model of the PC, and the version of XP that you have on it. Many so-called multi-media PCs run the media version of XP, and between the system manufacturers and Micros**t, the system has been rigged so that it will NOT burn disks that are playable in a set top player. The other problem may be the age of the DVD player, for some reason, they tend to lose the ability to play DVDRs as they age, I find I have to replace mine after about 12 – 18 months.
