DVD Playback Issues

[Satana]

Hello to all,

My problem is that I have burnt several DVD copies and my DVD player will not recognize them. My DVD player has played DVD-R media before (which was burned my someone else...so DVD player is not at fault).

The burnt copies are detected by my DVD burner which is :
BENQ DW 1620 (loaded the latest firmware).
Media I used Mitsumi 4x

I used the following software :


DVD Shrink 3.2
DVD Decrypter 3.5.1.0
Nero 6 Enterprise Edition
I have followed the instructions as best as I can from the DVD digest.

I have also included Nero History log :

Any help would be very much appreciated

Drive doesn't support changing Book Type for DVD-R

Don't use the bitsetting on your discs - it's only for DVD+R discs.

Also try some better media.

Hello Cynthia,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I just want to make I understand your comments :


Media type: DVD-R "that the media I use"

Book Type request: DVD-ROM - Drive doesn't support changing Book Type for DVD-R
Don't use the bitsetting on your discs - it's only for DVD+R discs.
"So for the comments above I shouldn't chooseBook Type for DVD-R under Burn settings"

Also try some better media."Will try that".

will let you know results.

Thanks again

[cynthia]

Yes, don't select it.

[Satana]

Thanks for all your help.

I'm currently using Memorex media and I'm currently able to play DVD's on my standalone.

Thanks again.
