Hello...I need help please. I am new at burning. I am able to burn using DVD Shrink / Nero but when I go to play my dvd that I burned in the dvd player (Toshiba) it keeps saying "disc error". I have tried changing the burn speed and no luck. My burner is 16x and I have tried both 16x and 8x speed with problems playing back my dvd. It will play on my computer only. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. if you want to rule out the burn speed as an issue, burn one at 1x or 2x. if you still have the problem, it's not burning speed. 2. check to see if the firmware for your dvd player is up to date (google search firmware your brand/model). 3. unless you are using taiyo yuden or verbatim disks already, you might want to try those brands.
good luck!

there are plenty of reasons why certain dvds won't play in other players:

1. burning speeds: burn at 4x so there will be less writing errors (rule of thumb is to burn at half the rated speed of the disk--8X disk burn at 4x).
2. read manual for your stand alone player and use the disks that will play in your player. If your player is less than 2 yrs old then it should play the + or - R disks! I said SHOULD that's why you read the manual.
3. try booktyping your drive to DVd-ROM so it will make your +R disks more compatible to players. Read this:
http://k-probe.com/bitsetting-booktype-faq.php
4. make sure that there are no finger prints or scratches on your disk that make it hard for the player to read the disk!
5. use good quality media (rule of thumb....buy the ones that are Made in Japan.) Verbatim is a top notch disk and is the only exception to this rule....some Verbatims are made in Taiwan and they are top notch!
6. and don't burn too close to the outer edge of the disk ..... which will make the disk unreadable! but using good media you will be able to burn close to the edge better than lesser quality media. Just in case I only burn no closer than 4400MB, so if you can set your programs to that, all the better!

follow these little tips of the trade and you'll have better success! good luck.

Hi, I personally use Cheetah DVD Burner. It is free to try from download.com. I have NEVER had any problems with this burning software. It never freezes, has error messages or anything. It is the best dvd burner I have ever used.
