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

Hi there,

Quote:
DVR-420H' DVD Recorder
I own an LG-LRH539 DVD Recorder.

When burning to it, I assume it will burn at MAX speed.

This is why it's important for me to use only premium quality media on it.

Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim

Check your DVR Manual, if you do not finalize those DVD-R they may still work in your recorder and no where else !

On mine, I record all I want, then I need to go to the menu and finalize my media.

It's auto Generated me a menu, and closes the disk so it can play in a normal DVD player.
