I've spent the last 6 months copying all my Family movies (on VHS) to DVD. I'm using a 'Pioneer DVR-420H' DVD Recorder with built in hard drive. I copy the movies onto the hard drive, edit them, then put them on DVD-R discs. After creating about 50 discs I've now, to my horror, found that the created discs will only play on my Pioneer DVD recorder !!! I've tried playing them on 8 other players including my PC and the Playstation as well as Sony,Grundig,Panasonic,Philips players, all fail to read the discs !! Why is this happening...If I had known that the discs wouldn't be playable on other machines I wouldn't have bought the Pioneer machine in the first place...
I'm at a total loss as to why this is happening so any help would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks
Paul
Try Verbatim dvd- and you should be able to recopy those disc what kind of files are they burned to some programs burn flies that are not read on all players
