ok i have the printable 16x Verb +R disks, so i burned a movie using the verb and it does not play in my Panasonic DVD-recorder/player standalone, however it does play in my Hitachi Dvd standalone player, also i have done two burns at different speeds and both did not work on my panasonic player but both worked in my othe dvd player.
also the error i get is that may be something physical wrong or may need cleaning from the panasonic
Panasonics tend to like -R better than +R discs. Did you booktype the +R disc to be a DVD Rom? That will make it more compatable with stand alone players. Your burner has to support Booktyping. A few don't, but I think most do. What burner do you use?
My stepfather had a dvd player that wouldn't play -R or +R discs, at all. I booktyped my +R discs to DVD Rom, and they played flawlessly. So, booktyping can make a big difference.
Early Panasonic DVD players/recorders will not play +R/RW discs because they "violate" the DVD Forum standards. Changing the book type setting is merely disguising the DVD+R/RW disc as a DVD-ROM to fool Panasonic equipment and other equipment into thinking that the disc is a pressed disc. This also violates the standard; but it works. The same thing cannot be done with DVD-R/RW because, by definition, that format conforms to the DVD Forum standards. When players cannot play -R/RW, it is often because the player does not recognize the recordable code on them. These media can't lie about their heritage the way DVD+ discs can.
thanks for the replys but i just find out that the panasonic recorder/player doesn't support +Rs only -Rs.
BTW it is pretty new only like six months old, man i would think that most of all these new recorders/players would support all of the formats but i guess not.
@JVC,
i have a pioneer DVR-108 burner and sony DRU-500A
i am wondering if pioneers or sonys can do that booktyping thing
nevermind i downloaded dvd info pro and it said both were not able to booktype.
