why won't my DVD play? |
|
|
Hi all.
I've just bought a DVD rewriter to try and backup some of the junk on my
HDD.
I'm also trying to backup some DVDs. I'm using DVD Ripper to copy the files
to my HDD, and then CloneDVD to format (Or whatever it does) the files and
then burn to DVD.
But, they won't play on my reg 2 DVD player, but they will play on my PC.
Any ideas why?
Sorry for the crosspost, didn't know which group this would be most
applicable for......
Thanks

not all dvd players are up to the task of playing burnt discs - dvds or cds.
and those that can can't always play all formats. - eg some will play
dvd-r's but not dvd+rw
you probably have one of those but telling us the name of your player will
help.

Assuming there isn't a problem with your burning process, the most likely
explanation is that your DVD player won't play home recorded disks.
As far as DVD players go, the rules are
cheaper is better
don't buy big name brands, especially Sony (too hung up on copyright
protection)
if it doesn't say it will play the media type it won't
(ideally should claim to play dvd, dvd-r, dvd+r, dvd-rw, vcd, svcd, cd,
cd-r, cd-rw, DivX)
it should also be multi-region or multi-region hackable
I have been disappointed by Sony, by Panasonic, etc. and delighted by Ronin
players.
You appear to be using CloneDVD without be clear as to what it does. It rips
DVDs and defeats copyright protection, creating info, backup and vob files
in a VIDEO_TS folder. Make sure your burner knows where this folder is and
burns the files in the VIDEO_TS folder. (I assume the DVD you create plays
on the computer as a DVD) |

I would second that - I had a Panasonic RV32 (£90 or so about 3 years ago
just for the player) which wouldn't play my home-made discs. I recently
bought a "Tevion" (£60 including a very nice 5.1 home theatre system) from
Aldi which plays them perfectly. |

Hmm. How common was recordable DVD 3 years ago? The market has changed
ALOT very fast, and specs seem to change virtually every month. It's
often the smaller companies that push the envelope, but there can be
glitches in going too cheap.
I have a Cyberhome CH-DVD320 in my bedroom. It's done odd things like
start playing a selected menu entry, then immediately jump to the end.
It also didn't always pause when testing out a reference DVD like Avia.
My 5-year old Sony DVP-S530D has never had an issue with pre-recorded
disks. I tried both a DVD+R and DVD+RW, and it did play the +R.

My DVD player is a Sanyo DVD X5, combined CD and DVD. I got it about 3 years
ago. The manual says it will not play DVD ROMs but I've copied a couple of
other disks and they play OK. Its just this one in particular (Van Helsing
if anyones interested). The manual doesn't say anything about DVD + or -.
The disk I'm having trouble with works perfectly OK on a friends Panasonic.
I'm using this guide for instructions -

I've just bought a Yamada DVX6600 which plays AVI's directly, can put 6
movies on one DVD-R disc. Paid £57 from Aria.

Just play your original Van Helsing in that case. Backing up dvds is great
for rare titles, but Van Helsing wont end up being one of them, so I'm sure
you'll be safe if you just play your original.

I find it important to use the Video DVD option in Nero for burning after
draging the video_ts folder to the red video_ts folder. Your DVD players
may be reacting to what they think is a data disc rather than a structured
DVD disc. Most software players handle either one. |

They must be short movies or horribly encoded.

I am not disagreeing at all but both my 35 quid cheapos one from SVA and
one from Yamada and my Pioneer 636 (MR and Macro modified and about 3-400
Pounds) play everything I have thrown at them (+R, -R, -RW, +RW, VCD, SVCD
and CD,) with no problem. Perhaps it is the low to mid range players that
have the problems ?
Mind you I did ask on this group in 2002 before I bought the Pioneer.
