I was wondering if one of you guys can help. I recently just got a new computer. I am new to burning dvds. I tried to burn a dvd. I have a avi to dvd converter, and I used Nero to burn. The movie plays fine on my computer, but when I try to play the dvd-r in my dvd player it doesn't work. The dvd player is a couple of years old. It is a Pioneer progressive scan. It says it plays all media including dvd-r. I am using Memorex dvd-r discs.
- not the best of things to see in a post, but you might be lucky.... i'll elaborate shortly. for now, let's have LAST section of your Nero log which lives in c:\program files\ahead\nero\nerohistory.log, but DO NOT post your serial number which usually begins with '1A21' or similar.
as to Memorex, i'll copy/paste something from one of the many Memorex links in my signature....
Quote:the trouble with people like Memorex is they use widely varying quality in disc manufacturers, the most appalling being CMC Magnetics (hence the media code 'CMC Mag'). Memorex aren't the only ones who do this, others are HP, TDK, Imation etc.
The trouble is, you wouldn't know which ones you're gonna get, just buy picking up a pack of Memorex. And that's part of the reason why so many people have problems with them, they see the name Memorex, associate it with quality cassettes (for instance) in the dim distant past etc etc, and it's the luck of the draw as to what disc manufacturer actually made them. Hence why i won't buy Memorex, HP, TDK, Imation etc etc etc. There are ways with some companies discs, to work out which ones you're gonna get, ie what sort of tubs they're in, are they -R, what speed are particular discs etc etc but most people on the street just haven't got that knowledge and just don't care about all that. I have feet in both camps, i need to have knowledge of media, but i just want media to work, and work consistently and for good :)
...so i am very particular about what i spend my money on, and what i recommend to others.. see my sig for more bad media woes if you like..
