| 305975 | 2004-12-20 09:09:00 | I got a DVD burner for my birthday. YAY it can do both formats YAY the disks it writes wont read in other DVD drives :-( I have made a data disk and a DVD movie disk, both read good in my system. the Mac in the other room wont read either, the Mac has a duel format writer too. the moive wont play in any of our three DVD players. the movie will play good my my system (the drive the burned it) what might be wrong?? could the drive be faulty? could i just be using it wrong?? burning with Nero from windows XP-pro SP2 for the data disk burning with DVD-shrink from windows XP-pro SP2 for the movie disk. |

| 305978 | 2004-12-20 09:44:00 | Look up: Book Type I think you will find if you can configure this on your burner it will play on most players. Then again I could be off the mark. | Murray P (44) | ||
| 305979 | 2004-12-21 00:14:00 | Sounds like this one. Its a pioneer dual format. I can play DVD's on this. I can also play it on the Panasonic 5cd/dvd stereo since it plays most formats, including DVD-R and DVD+R, BUT it doesnt play nice in the older Philips multizone. The only way I can get a dvd working in the Philips, is if i burn a videocd on a normal cd not dvd, (I just haveta make it so it'll fit on a CDR), and turn off PBC on the DVD player. Then it plays it. And umm yup there is no firmware update out for the Philips, so I just burn DVDS for the Panasonic... |
