Problem with a DVD burner?

Question

i got a dvd burner, and i got Nero 8, i tryed to burn DVD, burned it but it wont play on my player. I also tryed many other programs that were DVD creator, and only one worked but problem was that movie skipped every 5 seconds. Is it somn wrong with the programs, or its just a bad dvd burner???? i just bought it recently

Answer 1

It is amazing that this still isn't as easy as it should be.  It could be many things, here are just a few:

1. download the latest firmware for your "new" DVD burner

2. try different brand discs, some hardware doesn't work well with some brands

3. look up your burner model here and read their excellent info

4. are you certain the software is "closing" the disc, so it will work in other players?

5. are you using dual layers?  I have tried a dozen times, but only got one DL to sort of work for me.

6. go back and do step 3 now...

good luck

You can get excellent forums at -  ripdifferent.com  

the forums there discuss all sorts of ways to record dvd and get them to play on your player. it takes some understanding to get it down. it is probably not the player but check which type of disks plays in your player and use those.
