Can't read my "backup" movies on PC! ??

[Drphil]

I backup a movie using DVD shrink on my PC which is running Windows MCE 2005.

When I try to play the movie on my PC, I get the following error when trying to open the backup DVD...

"Disc Not Formatted: Windows can not read from the disc. The disc may be corrupted, or it could be using a format that is not compatible with Windows"

I've uploaded a screenshot of this error.

When I put the backup DVD into another PC, it works fine, as well as playing it on my standalone DVD player....

Please help!

When I put the burned disc into the computer, it changes the drive description from "DVD-RW Drive" to "CD Drive"

Very strange!

Works fine on my other PCs.........

What is the brand and model # of your DVD burner or drive that is giving you that error message?

What format is the blank media you are trying to get it to read, is it DVD-R, DVD-RW, or DVD+R, DVD+RW?

"When I put the burned disc into the computer, it changes the drive description from "DVD-RW Drive" to "CD Drive""

That is normal. Everyones computer does that. Cause what is a DVD? Its a "Compact Disc".

It is a Lite-On DVDRW SOHW-812S drive.

Using Ritek 8x DVD+R media

Lite-On has been upgraded to the latest firmware. It burns the DVDs fine, just can't play them after the fact. WEIRD!

Have you tried to clean the disc?

Thats not the problem. Its EVERY burned disc.
