DISK ERROR on Toshiba DVD Video player

[ampm01]

I just burnt a movie on to a dvd-r and I am able to play it fine on my dvd drive in my pc, but when I try to play it in my toshiba dvd video player I get disk error. Can anyone offer any suggestions to what my problem might be? I have a toshiba sd-2710 if this helps.

Thanks for the help!!

ampm01,

If you want a quicker solution, list your rig's spec.'s, software used for burning the discs, what type (brand name and whether discs are -R or +R), steps you used to make the back-ups and the make and model of your burner and your reader (if seperate drive).

BTW.......Toshibas are somewhat difficult for some burning software to please.

any suggestions on how i can successfully burn dvd's to play on my home dvd palyer - ?

a note, never have i had any sort of disk error problem with this dvd toshiba player -

It doesn't look like your Toshiba supports the DVD+R format.
As you have a dual format burner try a DVD-R.

why does finding nemo and ANY other dvd rented from my local video store work?

how do all of these dvd publishing companies know what is compatible in MY player and how is it they work?

now i am even more confused -

i hope to produce a series of gardening and orchid plant dvd's and marken them on thewww and SELL the disks - how can i be sure they will play on a TYPICAL home desktop dvd player?

many thanks

There are two main categories of DVD, Pressed and Recordable.

The DVD's you rent & buy from a video shop are pressed DVD's. These will work in over 99% of DVD Players and computer DVD ROM drives.

What you are creating is a Recordable DVD (DVD+R/RW // DVD-R/RW) which is what is giving you the compatabilty problems.

The only way to be SURE will be to spend the money to have an outside service PROFESSIONALLY PRESS your DVDs (NOT to burn them yourself)...
