DVD-RW only working once

[dan76n]

Hi all, when I burn to DVD-RW with my new PC it only works on my DVD player when the DVD-RW is brand new. If I erase the disk and then burn it again it still works fine on my pc but my DVD player wont pick it up, it just says loading and makes a loud clicking noise. Has anyone ever had this problem ?????

Sounds like real low quality media. Can you provide a burn log?

i'd say more likely that your player doesn't like that media, i had the same problem untill i started using "rock solid" memorex (that was for you blu)

what is the make and model# of your dvd player?

What's the media ID code of these TDKs?

See here.

Check your firmware is up to date.

Read the Golden Rules of Burning (link in my signature above).

OK. Can you provide a log of your burn - if Nero it is in C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\NeroHistory.log

Looks like a good burn, although someone has inserted 32k breaks in VTS_01 where they are unneeded.

Now, is this disk compatible with your player? Also, you should verify your burn and test it (see my signature for a link).

One thing:

Disc Manufacturer: CMCW02 -

This CMC media is pretty crappy stuff. Try better media.

If it's in a Dell computer - visit there page to see if you can find any recent firmware update.

dan, I'm still a newbie reading these Nero logs, and haven't ever tried a DVD-RW, so hopefully the experts will enlighten us both.
