recently bought 50 pack of fairly cheap dvd+r most of which burn and work fine on my dvd and pc but some wont work on the dvd but will still work ok on pc.this gets very frustrating as the purpose is to watch them on dvd player.i use skrink and nero and the settings stay the same.my dvd player is a cheap one but will play all dvd formats.i dont understand how some of the dvds work and others dont.any ideas?!
Another thing, not all burners can booktype, what burner do you have and what is it's model number? And another thing, just because it's cheap doesn't mean it's of poor quality. Verbatim disc are usually much cheaper than most of it's shelf neighbors but are usually the best on the shelf.
You might also want to consider setting your target size to 4300 as this will keep you from burning too close to the edge of the media which can cause playback issues.
What is the make/model of your burner and is your firmware up to date, as this can cause burning problems. Also what speed are you burning at, with cheap media keep it to 4x.
forget the brand name of discs.speed is set at 2.4x(as i cant change to 4x manually).booktype changes to dvdrom when i use Nero.burner is a samsung ts-h552u with the latest firmware.i copied identity last nite with no problems but these scrubs discs arhh i get the language selection screen then it stops(on dvd player) but fine on pc.verification is always ok.ive tried the 4300 file size same problem.
then the bottom line is: POOR QUALITY DISCS...change brands/manufacturers and you WILL get better results...
Taiyo Yuden would be my #1 choice of media...in either the DVD+R OR DVD-R format~ :) just make sure they are genuine...then you will be just fine...good luck
Taiyo Yuden 4x dvd-r TYGO1/ 8x dvd-r TYGO2/ 8x dvd+r YUDEN000T02/ 16x dvd+r YUDEN000T03
Verbatim 8x dvd+r MCC003
Verbatim dvd+r DL (MKM001)= flawless no compression backups

You said; "recently bought 50 pack of fairly cheap dvd+r" -- in contrast, you'd just answered your own question.
I'm 100% with Doc. here. Genuine Taiyo Yuden DVD+Rs hands down..!! Nothing else beat Yuden, Verbatim and Maxell -- however, that's just my own opinion and perspective.
