DVD-R doesn't play in standalone DVD player after burning in Philips 1660

[digideb]

I've just bought a new DVD burner because I wanted to do some dual layer disks, this model seemed ok and it has burnt a DVD+R DL fine.

But I then went to do a copy of a DVD-R that I have (that burns fine on my other recorders) and when I put it in my standalone player it says "cannot play disk". I used Nero 6 and originally tried it from copying the VIDEO_TS files, this didnt work, so I also tried a disk copy from within Nero, this didn't work either. The copied disk does play fine on the PC with PowerDVD. The original DVD-R is not copyrighted, it's a home video. Why won't it burn a DVD-R properly?

the burner is a pretty good burner, the blanks(ritekG05's) are inconsistent crap

newer firmware for better writting to dual layer

http://www.storageupdates.philips.com/files/dvdrw/Philips_DVDR1660P1_Update_to_P1.6.zip

[digideb]

Thanks for that, have upgraded to that now.

Would it just be the disks that are the problem, in conjunction with the burner ? On my other PC they burn fine, but consistently not on this PC with the Philips. I thought it might be something like bookmark but am just trying to figure my way through that right now.

[Chewy]

most of those phillips burners are benq's which can be real picky about the media you use.


you might want to update nero

[Shooto]

I am trying to fix a friends External DVD Writer which is a PHILIPS DVDR1660P1.

Basically the drive is recognised when switched on, but as soon as I put in any DVD/CD it hangs windows or nero.

I dont think it is the media's quality, as I have tried a pre recorded DVD.

I did notice that the actual drivers for it are ProLogic something or other, I think this is a generic DVD driver.

I have updated the Firmware to the latest 1.6, but cant find any specific windows drivers for the drive.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Stephen
