I was able to successfully burn a back-up of a DVD movie but I am only able to play it on the DVD burner. Is there a way to get it to play elsewhere?

The whole DVD authoring process is a minefield. I can tell you I still step on them! A couple of things to check. Is the DVD-R media you are using compatible with your set top box? 'www.lynxdv.co.uk' will sell you media and they also have a handy lookup chart to see if your machine will play it. Also VCDHELP has similar info.
Secondly, how are you authoring? If you are making a backup of a DVD then if you use IFOEDIT correctly (there are loads of guides on the IFOEDIT site) a DVD burning program should be all you need. I use NERO (latest version) and I burn using the DVD VIDEO option. You can have issues if IFOEDIT is not used correctly, but I found all my answers on the AFTERDAWN forum.

Modman,

For burning using Nero, checkout this site, it shows you how to setup Nero, prior to burning :-

Damn it stupid Nero. I go to burn and then it goes then all of a sudden it STOPS AND SHOWS

COMMUNATION ERROR

What does that mean I have no programs running in the background only Nero and I did follow the process from the link. COuld it be a hardware problem

Modman,

There is a good chance your media is to blame. As somebody once told me: A BMW costs more than a SKODA. Why? (Apart from the normal German mark-up because it's a BMW). Basically go to the site that make your burner and see if they list known working brands. The LYNXDV site mentioned in an earlier response will sell DVD-R media and supply a list of machines that will play it. I have a Pioneer 104 and use PRINCO DVD-RW and LYNX DVD-R and I have had no problems at all.
