New to the forums however would like a little advice please.
Have tried a search under various words without anyjoy of locating a thread that can answer my questions. My apologises if there is one out there about this already.
Basically I am new to burning files to DVD, been using various programs to make VCD and files not completing fitting so making two discs. Decided to take the plunge at making a DVD.
Well all went well, used Avi2DVD worked a treat, burnt using dvd decryptor. Worked a treat too and now the film is on a DVD-R and plays in one out of my two dvd players.
From making VCD discs I know that not all players take these types of files so i bought a player that plays EVERYTHING almost.
Well the DVD i made worked on the cheap and cheerful player but not on the expensive Sony. I actually have the SAME file on a DVD that someone else made and that plays on both players.
So what have I done to limit my playback ability on some DVD players?
I used DVD-R Verbatim discs 4.7GB which burnt at 4times speed.
Are the special discs to use that play on all dvd players? cause my Sony player said Wrong Disc Type when I put my disc in but played perfect with the other disc someone else did.
I dont mind it playing on just my player but if i lend the DVD to a mate its really pot luck if it will work or not.
Don't quote me on this, but I seem to remember reading (from another thread) that the newer Sony standalone players are being selective in the type of media they recognize. I guess it's Sony's way of fighting piracy, in one form, at least.
What type of media are you using? I wonder if you used Sony brand media if your new (Sony) player will recognize it. Talk about a brilliant marketing strategy (monopoly?).
