I rip a movie and burn it to a disc. However this movie is not able to play in the DVD player but able to play in the PC. I have burned over 200 disc and this is the first time my DVD player are unable to play the disc. I tried over 2 different player and the problem still persisted.

Any advise , thanks

Regards
Steve

Were you burning too fast?

Are you using good quality blank media, like Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, or Sony?

sounds like a media issue i agree with 7th singer....

how and what did you use to rip the dvd?? if both dvd players are older they might not play media unless its booktyped to DVD-ROM
(they may also only support -r/+r one of those),but if you were using the same methods then none of that should even be an issue:P

best wishes!

this is a question that comes up so often and 99% of the time it's the media used! but.... here is my stock answer to this age old problem:

there are plenty of reasons why certain media brands won't play in other players:

1. burning speeds: burn at 4x so there will be less writing errors (rule of thumb is to burn at half the rated speed of the disk--8X disk burn at 4x).
2. read manual for your stand alone player and use the disks that will play in your player. If your player is less than 2 yrs old then it should play the + or - R disks! I said SHOULD that's why you read the manual.
3. try booktyping your drive to DVd-ROM so it will make your +R disks more compatible to players. Read this:
http://k-probe.com/bitsetting-booktype-faq.php
4. make sure that there are no finger prints or scratches on your disk that make it hard for the player to read the disk!
*******5. use good quality media (rule of thumb....buy the ones that are Made in Japan.)Taiyo Yuden is the only brand I use! Verbatim is also top notch disk and is the only exception to this rule....some Verbatims are made in Taiwan and they are top notch! Using quality media that is most recognized by players/recorders stop MANY problems like the ones you are getting!
6. and don't burn too close to the outer edge of the disk ..... which will make the disk unreadable! but using good media you will be able to burn close to the edge better than lesser quality media. Just in case I only burn no closer than 4400MB, so if you can set your programs to that, all the better!

follow these little tips of the trade and you'll have better success! good luck.
