First of all I am new to this so may ask some basic questions here.
1. I have searched the WWW over and over again. That is what lead me here.
2. I do not know what you mean by "better quality brand media". Are you talking about the brand of blank DVDs I have bought? I have Memorex DVD-R 16x 4.7GB
3. I am burning at 2.4 which is about as slow as it can get.
4. if "software DVD player" means can I play it on my computer yes I can
5. We have two DVD players one is a Panasonic and the other is a Toshiba. I would hope that those would be good. I don't plan on buying a new player just for this project.
6. I have tried several formats to get this done and it is the same results each time yet the express burn makes it sound very simple. I am starting out with mpg 4 video.
7. Do you have any other suggestions??????
Hi,
If the videos that you have burned play on your computer, but not in your dvd players, then I would say that your dvd players do not like the brand of disc you are using. If the player doesn;t even recognise that you have put in a dvd, then I would say that this would be the case.
2 things to consider in this scenario are.
1: Some brands of DVD's just do not work with some players. (especially older players)
2: Some players don't like certain types of DVD's. eg: some players won't play dvd-r discs, but will play dvd+r discs.
If you are using dvd-r discs, I would try using a dvd+r.
I have even seen some players that won't recognise either dvd-r or dvd+r. But they would recognise a dvd+rw. (shrugs shoulders)
Its a little bit of mucking around but once you find a disc that your player will read, you can stick to that type of disc and you shouldn't have any trouble.
The fact that the DVD's will play through your computer after you have burned them, pretty much confirms that the DVD's have been burn't successfully.
I hope this helps you guys out.
Cheers.
