DvdRw

Whenever I try to play a rewriteable disk after a sucessful rip,shrink,burn, I get a message "this disk cannot be played", do certain Dvd players not accept all types of disks?
TIA,
Jimbo

Some stand alone players can be picky about which discs they will play. You would probably have better luck with non RW discs.

True, one of my old stand alone player never liked RW discs. Regular R ones worked.

Can you play the RW disc in your computer?

experiment with different brands. for my toshiba i found that memorex -rw's play just as well as the -r's.

[jeffdvd]

better use -r discs or +r discs with booktype set to dvdrom.

To answer your question, yes some players will play only -R and not -RW as well as some will only play +R and not +RW.

Fortunately, my SONYs and other players accept RICOHJPNs W series. It can depend on the quality of the media
