It didn't finalize after recording ! I attempted to finalize manually and that's when I get the error message ! No it will not playback on any other dvd player or my pc dvd !
I've had this issue with this dvd recorder since I've had it ! I'm not sure if it needs a firmware update because Toshiba doesn't seem to know either !
I had this same problem when I first purchased the same dvd recorder, and somehow it resolved itself. I cannot tell you how, sorry. I did learn that it did not like Sony blank dvd-r's, though, wouldn't even recognise them at all, blank or recorded. Again, I don't know why. I've been using verbatim, philips, fuji with no problems at all.
