Using Nero thru Shrink, I burned content onto a DVD-R. The DVD will then play fine on the computer, but will not on any dvd stand alone player. Did I miss a step in the burn?
I'm having almost the same problem... using Sonic thru shrink, following all instructions, and the DVD WILL work on a newer player, but not on my older model... any ideas why this is???
The Sony discs may not be compatable with your standalone player. I always suggest Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden as they seem to yeild the highest percentage. As I said earlier, DVD+R booktyped, if your burner supports this feature.
Hate to say it, but if that doesn't work, you may want to get one of the new multi format players like the one from Philips. I bought one for less than $75 and it plays just about anything round and shiny (including CDs and RW format). They may be cheaper now. I picked mine up last year.
