Hi. I have what I belive to be just your standard dvd player in my computer. So, this friend of mine is into the whole, let me back up every dvd that I own thing. Being the wonderful person that he is, he lets me, on ocation, borrow one of these backed up dvds of his. But, for some strange resone my computers dvd player will NOT play a burnt dvd. Can some one PLEASE tell me why. Is it simply my player, or is there some strange codec or driver that I need? PLEAES PLEASE HELP!!

Yes, I do have a dvd rom, and I use real player to play dvds. How do I check if my dvd rom is compatible with the media? Oh...and by the way....when I put the dvd in and go to My computer, it doesnt even show that there is any sort of disk in the drive at all.
I have this same problem and was told that it's because the media (disks) are cheap. I was told that if i use maxell or a japanese disk that they would most likely read in my PC drive. The reason i was asking is because i would like to back-up some of my back-ups.

In your DVD Drive should say +R -R +/-R or DL
then check the media, if just say +R you can't play/burn anything but +R and so on. If is +/-R you can play both. you can check by downloading a program I belive is DVDINFO.com
