Plays On Computer But Not Dvd Player

[tony1145]

I HAVE AN EMPREX DVD DUAL 16X - I HAVE BACKED UP A FEW FILMS THAT PLAY ON MY PC BUT NOT MY DVD PLAYER - I KNOW THAT THE DVD PLAYER IS OK AS I AM CURRENTLY PLAYING SOME FILMS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN COPIED - I HAVE USED DVD-R / DVD+R AND RW BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE - I USE NERO 6 - ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRIECIATED

tony1145, welcome to the forums! What is the brand and model # of your DVD player?

(Please refrain from using all CAPS please.)

Your DVD player cannot play +R/RW disc's.

Here are the specs:
Silver.

Dolby digital sound.

DVD, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, WMA, JPEG, and MP3 playback compatible.

Analogue 2 channel audio output.

Supports region 2 coding.

PAL progressive scan.

DTS compatible.

Icon on screen display.

Variable zoom.

Enhanced picture mode.

1 SCART socket.

Remote control (2 x AAA batteries supplied).

You say you have tried/used -R disc. I would try again and use some known reputable brand disc such as Ritek Ridata or Verbatim.
