Hello

I am at a complete loss with my DVD Recorder (an admitedly cheap Emprex 8*DVD+-R):

When I create a DVD compilation, only some DVD readers will read it back? My ThinkPad laptop wont, My Dell Laptop Will, my Xbox wont etc..

I have tried all possible options, and both HP and Sony Media.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Steve.

xbox is fussy as for disks you need nero 6 then check force xbox compatability in the UDf part and off ya go

I heard someware that laptops only can use/play? DVD-R/RW discs but PC's can use/play all formats + and -. hope that helps?

files are fully DVD compliant Mpeg2 and sound stream is at 48Khz?. you should use tmpeg 2.5 to ensure that dvd files are compliant. i wouldnt use anything else. the likes of dvdlab, scenarist can do re-encoding and muxing on the fly but i would rather have all the files compliant before the muxing process starts.
just my 2p worth.

cheers

It depends on the machine which reads it. I used various software till i found a way which works..

Hello

Thank you for your replies. I'm not actually trying to do anything complicated: Burn a DVD in my home computer and then read it in my ThinkPad laptop (and if I'm lucky on the X-Box!).

But I still can't do it. As I mentioned, my Dell Laptop will read the DVD's fine.

Make sure your burning at the right speed. If its cheap discs that are 1x rated, and your burner's a 2x/4x etc it wont work.

you'll also need a recent version of the softeware, to be compatible with the 8x burner....... I beleive....... as i found out.....
