Playing backup DVDs
 

I got DVD x Copy and upgraded to the latest version. Well, the problem is, I burned a couple of DVDs and they won't play on my ps2 or any dvd player in my house... but it will play in the dvd drive in my pc. Can anyone tell me how to burn the dvds so they can be played on all my dvd players.

My dvd burner is the:

Sony DVD+RW/DVD-RW/DVD-R/CD

Under the advanced options, what options did you use?

I used both options....standard and advanced

No, under the advanced options, what were the settings you used?
Player Compatibility:
Standard (ISO/UDF) or
Alternate (UDF)

and
DVD Burn Engine:
Default Burn Engine or
Alternate Burn Engine or
External Nero Program

Oh ok... I tried using Standard (ISO/UDF) and
Alternate (UDF)

External Nero Program 5.5

Are you using cheap media?

what do you mean by cheap media??
what should I have in order to burn dvds so they can play on stand alone dvd players

The ps2 and some dvd players can be picky when it comes to dvd media. Name brands like Verbatim and TDK are good. Ritek are also very good.

when you say "media" you mean the burner and software??

i have no sorrow for u he means DVDR's they are R's arent they???lol


later im off down the pub;)

Yes media as in the blank discs you are recording to. What brand are they?

Oh ok....I got some Memorex and sony they are both dvd+rw

What is the brand and model of your dvd player and the version of your ps2? If you don't know the version of your ps2, you can check here

PS2 version is 4. My stand alone DVD player is a sanyo. Is there any way to tell what format a DVD is.... I mean if it's a dvd+ or a dvd-
All the blank dvd disks are all DVD+RW

Your v4 probably won't play your +rw discs. What model is the Sanyo dvd player? -r media is compatible wih many more devices.
