Question

I have Dvd Recorder but when I recorded I cant play it to other dvd player?why?

Answer 1

Hi Jings,

There are two possibilities.

First and most likely you didn't finalize the DVD. When you record on a DVD recorder the resulting DVD will only play on the device you recorded it on until it is "finalized". Look in the manual for your DVD recorder under finalizing.

The second possibility is your other DVD recorder doesn't recognize the type of media you are using. The DVD+R and DVD-R are competing formats much like the old VHS and Beta formats in video tapes. Today most drives are Hybrid and handle both formats. They are usually labeled DVD+/-R. If you are using +R you might try -R media or vice versa.

I really think your answer is to finalize.

first check the dvd using a DVD ROM in a computer. If its working, then it should work in any dvd player. If  not, then there should be something mistake in recording... try it out....
