Play on PC but not DVD player

[vwvr6vw]

I've had an external Sony DVD burner for a few months now and I've been making movie backups with DVD Shrink, Nero and Memorex +R blank DVDs without any problems until now. The last two movies that I backed up will not play in my DVD player or my Playstation, but they play on my PC just fine in both DVD drives. I then tried burning the same movie, which was still on my hard drive, onto a Sony +RW disc and it plays on my DVD player just fine. I tried this twice with each type of disc(Memorex DVD+R and Sony+RW) and got the same results each time. Could there be something wrong with the last few Memorex discs I tried? Why do they still work on my PC then though? Any help is appreciated.

i'm just waiting to hear people shun your media....i use memorex with 100% success. however you need to make sure it is compatible with your player first(see below). it is also possible that you had bad burns/discs. what speed do you burn at?

I see that you are using DVD+R discs, check to be sure you player can play those.
My stand alone player will not play DVD+R but will play DVD-R prefectly.
You may want to try a DVD-R.

You might want to run a DVD/CD cleaning disc on your burner AND your standalone DVD player. Maxell makes one that retails for approximately $10US...
