I just recently bought a DVD burners. The main reason i bought it was so that i could fit alot of stuff on a DVD-R discs as and when I need to, ie..data, films etc.
However, I have jst realised that my Divx Player cant see the films that Ive burnt on the DVD-R discs the second time around! Any one kno why this is, and if there is any solution to it?
Are there any known problems with divx players not being able to accept multisession Ddv-r discs?
My burner burner model is the NEC ND3540, the latest one out at the mo. Im using Datawrite Classic 4.7GB 8 Speed DVD-R discs. And im buring it using Nero 6.6 Ultra edition.
Any help, would be much appreciated

they're not what i'd call very good discs. however let's attack this problem from the bottom, ie post LAST section from your Nero log - it's in c:\program files\ahead\nero\nerohistory.log, but DO NOT post your serial number, which begins with '1A21' or similar'

Hey Creaky - So are u saying that the discs could be the problem? I find this rather strange, and think we should be able to burn abit at a time without any problems.
How do u burn data, do u burn in one go or a bit at a time?
Below is the LAST section of the Nero log u asked to see...Just as a note, i burnt couple of more discs after tryin to make a multisession disc, so if you want to see the log for the multisession cd, let me know.

a multisession disc has to be 'closed' in order to be used elsewhere.

- you need to free up more memory, your hard disc will be 'swapping'

- slow it down to 4x
i just don't think certain Datawritte discs are any good, i've come across many appalling ones

So if i finalise the DVD-R, will i be able to see the films(avi files) that I added the second time around on my DivX player?
As for the discs, i looked through some other threads on here and bought myself some Verbatim 16x speed discs. Talkin about speed, whats the point of having a burner capable of burning at 16x and having media that can handle it, but having to burn at x4 as you recommend? I mean is it really that bad, will the disc become unstable in afew months? Im new to dvd burning so excuse my ignorance :P

i'm a bit rusty on multisession discs, i was never very keen on it and only dabbled slightly many many moons ago but as far as i remember a disc has to be closed before being accessible outside a PC. i'd do a google search on it to make sure but i think that's how it works
re burn speeds - here's a thread for ya - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/211439

a quick google showed this - Quote: Finalize CD / Close Disc - Setting this option ensures that the data written is most compatible with consumer devices.
Leave Disc Open / Leave Session Open - If this option is available to you, make sure that it is not enabled. Most consumer devices cannot read discs which are open, or contain open sessions

It didnt work. I jst finalised the cd and the stuff i added the 2nd time around to the DVD-R didnt show up. Oh well, i guess the lesson is stay clear of having to do a multisession disc.

Yeah, I'd say multisession is more hassle than the "advantage" of using it. My strategy, if I'm paranoid of losing stuff off the HD, is to copy stuff to a finalized DVD+RW or two. When I get a full DVDRs worth, burn a finalized permanent DVDR with the accumulated data. That way I've maximized the chance that I can read the stuff off the discs using another machine if I have to. Then I just use the DVD+RW discs over again.

Hey Kibz78 . Did you solved the problem ?? cos Im stuck here too ... I heard of some of my frieds , that , it is possible to do this , but the option "track at once" in burn option Nero should be enabled . And we need to use DVD+R instead of DVD-R .....

Nah, I still haven't been able to find a solution to this problem, ive given up on finding a solution, coz I think there isnt one. However, if you do find a way around it please let me know. At the mo, Im having to wait till i have enough film, tv shows so i can do it in one go. This is frustrating but what can u do. As for the Nero solution, Ive had a look at Nero, and as you suggested u cant change the way it writes dvds/cds.

The Solution is to Not make Multi-session disks as most DivX/DVD players Can Not read Past the First session of a Multi-Session disk....
If I were you i would just save up your Files till you have enough to Fill a DVD and then Burn them to DVD....
