Hi All, i recently used the software dvdfab platinum to back up 3 different dvds.I thought im a newbie not gonna try any clever stuff just went straight for the full disc copy.All sucessffull but none will play in my car and this is what i want them for.The plan is to use musical videos as entertainment, i drive a private hire taxi with dvd players in it.I tried burning to 2 different types of disc and no luck.Im struggling trying to get any copy to play.Why if i copy any original using dvdfab and use the full disc chioce,why wont it play in the car ? Help please.

Do the burned DVD's play in your home, standalone DVD player and in your PC?
Can the car player accept the type of disk (DVD-R or DVD+R)?
Are you burning the disks at moderate (not maximum) speed?

robione,
Evidentially your car player does not like RW disk. Try a (+)DVD and if your burner can, bitset the (+)DVD to a DVD-Rom. Car DVD players are a different breed of player. If that does not work then try (-)DVD. Make sure you are using quality blank media like Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden

Thanks for the replys people and for trying to help me.Car.mike,thanks m8,im a newbie here so +dvd i assume u mean a disk thats a recordable + as opposed to a recordable/rewritable+ which ive already tried.Gonna do some more reading on here as well m8 cos dont understand the bitset the+dvd to a dvd-rom unless u wanna advise me.Thanks again people.Im goin to buy the discs you suggest Verbatim / tayo yuden.So if i understand i should try the brands u named in dvd+ recordable only.Thanks again people

Heres a link to a thread you might like to check out...it's related to "Booktyping" (changing DVD+R to DVD-ROM) as mentioned by CarMike

Use -R, forget about +R and the booktyping nonsense.
