i need some help i have an avi file i converted to dvd (video/audio TS file) tried to burn with nero and it completed but will not play in dvd player or dvd drive. So i then used DVD SHrink and made an iso file and tried to burn it with Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 disk copier. Witch i have used to back up many of my DVD's and they worked fine. But this time i received an Error messsage "Seek, synch,ATIP or Mechanical positioning Error- Hardware error 4/09/02" i have no idea what this means. I am trying to find out if it is my burner or not any help will be greatly appretiated

Hi there,

You have not provided lots of details, but here are the main reasons why a DVD will not work in a player.

1- DVD Quality

2- Media type (DVD-R / DVD+R) Some older player may not like DVD+R some prefer DVD-R and some are just plain picky :)

3- Burn speed, most of us will burn at 2x or 4x unless you have Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden (Best Media There Is) some will burn at 8x.

4- If you have the option, like DVD Shrink, make your output max to 4300mb or 4400mb (Default is 4463mb in Shrink). Burning on the edge may cause playback problems near the end, specialy on cheap media.

VSO Inspector / DVD Identifier / DVDInfoPro and several other tools will give you the Media Code.

What brand name are they ?
What speed did you burn those ?

Provide us a full Nero Log (Remove your KEY at the beginning) this will also provide us more details.

Just those DVD you burned won't play ?
Your player will play all others ?
The DVD you burned plays fine on your PC and/or in an other DVD player ?

Good Luck !
