I've recorded on several DVDs, but they won't play on any other DVD Player?

Question

I have a new, multi-format DVD recorder and I've recorded several shows on DVD +R discs. They play fine on the machine I recorded them on, but won't play on my other DVD player which is also multi-format. What's going on and how can I fix this?

Answer 1

Hi Leslie,

You have to finalize the DVDs before they will play anywhere except the player they were recorded on.

Check your manual for instructions on finalizing.
