The DVD will play on my DVD player but it won't play on my PC so I could burn. Anybody got any hints on why it don't play on my PC. Hit me back.

Is ur DVD Reader or writer -R or +R or both

this could b one of the reasons.

if this is the case try to get AnyDVD and this will figure out the regional code and then u may have to reburn it if it does not play and then u can use AnyDVD with Decrypter to burn to hard drive then Clone DVD to put it back to DVD and then it should b able to play.

Yes it's a DVD-R/+R reader. Yes I have AnyDVD it just that reader isn't reading the disc. The disc is a burnt DVD+r, I'm trying to copy the disc myself. Any clues.

I understand all the replys that I got back. But this burnt copy TDK DVD-R/8x 4.7GB just won't play on my PC. Anyway the movie is Kings Ransom. Matter of fact it won't play on Laptop it's just not reading this DVD, but like I said before it plays on my DVD player. Can somebody help out or I'm just out of this movie.

@prlumbee - between us we have asked all the right questions i think, but to begin helping you we need the info we are all asking for.

download Nero info-tool from here - http://www.snapfiles.com/get/neroinfo.html

Run it, note down the exact name of the drive and the firmware version. Here's what mine shows -

Also, as previously requested, download dvdinfopro (free) and run a media info check and paste results here

and i'm saying you can use dvdinfo to do a media info check - 2nd icon from left in dvdinfo. paste results here. then provide the other info i/we asked for and we can get you sorted, otherwise you will continue to have problems..

After reading other posts with the same exact problem and myself having this problem also I am thinking that it's PowerDVD causing the trouble because others with this problem are also using PowerDVD. I think when I get home I am gonna rip out "PowerDVD" and go from there and see if I get any results for ya. Or maybe you can uninstall "POwerDVD" and reboot and try another program instead. If you try that and find out anything let me know too ;)

Houston, we need backup!!

Well I have some information that may help. I got my new burned DVD +R to read and it's a stupid little mistake when you burn your cd's. Using Nero I went in and set it to ISO2 mode which accepts longer character length. Bam now it reads the dvd. I feel embarassed almost on this one. Kinda weird that my Memorex burner won't accept backups in ISO1 mode on some dvd's. See if that helps at all ;)
