It will play on the PC.Help....Stephanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickles Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Welcome to the Forum Stephanie:If you look at the files of your DVD using Windows Explorer do they appear similar to:AUDIO_TS(empty folder)VIDEO_TS(folder) xxx.bup xxx.ifo xxx.vob yyy.ifo yyy.vob zzz.ifo zzz.vob . . etc.I'm interested in the mix of file extensions ".vob", ".ifo", ".vob" and not the specific name.Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickles Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Stephanie:I dont't have an answer for you yet.Are you using Nero 6? I'm familiar with that version but not Nero 7.I've got four fairly recent DVD players but for some reason two of them will consistently play DVD+R but consistently not play DVD-R. The opposite is true for the other two DVD players. All four will play DVD+RW but only two will play DVD-RW. There is a web site that keeps a database of player model numbers and there compatibility according to actual owners. I can't locate the site at the moment but KEN COX might know it. If Ken doesn't respond I'll keep looking and post.As all my DVD players recognize DVD+RW, I always make a dry run with that format to verify the DVD is made correctly before burning a DVD-R. You might try a DVD+RW disk and see what happens.Are you creating lot's of chapters and/or menus? Do you know what bit rate Nero used for encoding,i.e., 4800 kbits/sec?Sincerely,Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Cox Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 also seehttp://dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.htmlif the dvd you burned works in your burner/pc then i think it is safe to say it is your home player that is at faultken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickles Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 if the dvd you burned works in your burner/pc then i think it is safe to say it is your home player that is at faultkenStephanie,I agree with Ken Cox. The possible exception might be if you used a lot of chapters and menus. I have had those create problems in the player but run ok on a PC. You might try without any menus or chapters...and I would use a DVD+RW or DVD-RW for testing.nickles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potwnc Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Stephanie,Can you post the exact model number of your SONY DVD burner?Also, what brand of DVD+R discs are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephanie Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Ok guys here was the deal...Went to Best Buy and was advised to use DVD-R which did not work. So I replaced the DVD Burner and what do you know it works with DVD-R and I am going to test the DVD+R.The old Sony Model was DRU-710AThanks for all your help.Stephanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
