DVD-R brand?
First off, I want to thank everyone here for all the advice. I just registered so that I can post, but I've been reading this forum for a couple of weeks, and believe that I am extremely close to successfully copying a DVD...
Which leads to my question: How much does the brand of the medium (the DVD-R) matter to its compatibility with a standalone player? I finally thought I had a system down perfect, following to the letter the directions at doom9 for copying just the main movie (http://www.doom9.org/mpg/ifoedit-menustripping.htm) and Derrow's guide for burning a DVD (http://mpucoder.kewlhair.com/Derrow/nero.html), and burned a copy of Casablanca.
It will play automatically in the drive that I burned it in using both WinDVD and PowerDVD, but it will not play in my DVD-ROM, and it will not play in my Sony DVP-NS300, wich is supposed to be able to play DVD-Rs. I am using a Panasonic LF-D310 to burn.
Is the problem that I am using incompatible disks (10 for $48 from elegantshopping.com), or am I neglecting something in the process?
I apologize for the length of this message, but I wanted to throw out all the details of my problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated... keep up the good work, and I hope that once I get this figured out I'll become a regular member of this community.
Also, a side question: What would you say is the best medium-range standalone DVD player for playing DVD-Rs?
Thanks.
