DVD's not working in DVD Player

[tdscm96]

The DVD's I am burning are not reading in my DVD player, but they are reading in my Computer. I am new to the whole burning process, but my Sister has been doing this for a while. My Sister has the exact same software as I do, and her DVD's work great. What am I doing wrong? My Sister and I can't figure it out. I am using DVD Shrink 3.2 with DVD43 Decryptor and burning with Nero. I would appreciate any help with this problem.

Welcome to the Digital Digest Video forum tdscm96!

What is the brand and model # of your stand alone DVD player?

sounds like your dvd player doesn't like the media. to find media for that player see here:

I have a Toshiba SD-1600. The DVD's that my Sister has burned, have no problem playing in my DVD player. It's just the ones my computer is trying to burn that don't work.

[tdscm96]

If I read the information right, I am to use DVD-R discs, which is what I have been using. I will try to use the different writing speeds to see if it makes a difference.

what brand media has your sister been using? and you?

tdk or memorex should give you no trouble

[tdscm96]

I have been using Memorex and Verbatim, and my Sister has been using Verbatim. Both brands of media are not working when I burn them, but work when my Sister burns them.

I want to thank you both for helping me!! I guess my problem is actually with my DVD player. I just tried the DVD's I burned on my Sister's DVD players and they are working great. I guess the part that is puzzling me is why are the DVD's my Sister is burning working on my DVD player, but the ones I am burning aren't? We are using the same Media and Software. I would appreciate any insight.

Are you getting good burns? No adhesive labels? Read the golden rules of burning in my sig. :)

Test your burns afterwards - see my sig.

not all dvd players like the same media, that's why....

"why are the DVD's my Sister is burning working on my DVD player, but the ones I am burning aren't? We are using the same Media and Software."

She's probably burning at a lower speed...

[tdscm96]

Thanks for all the advise!! I am at my Sister's for the weekend, but will give it another go when I get home. I'll let you know how it goes. Happy Fourth of July!!

what make and model of dvd burner do you have and what is your sister's make and model ?
if everything else is the same and your burner is different could be bad burns as stated above.

I am having the same problem. Every DVD I would burn worked great on ALL dvd players till I upgraded to Nero 6.6.0.14. Now, my burns give errors such as "Unreadable" or "Wrong Region" yet the play perfect on my PC. I think its somthing to do with the new version of Nero. I even switched to a new burner and yet STILL the problems presist.

Pyromite78, have you tried playing them in a different stand alone DVD player?
