Why aren't my DVD-R & DVD+R playing on any pc or even DVD player?

Question

I had recorded into them directly from TV using DVD-RW (which is multi function DVD player), but those DVDs play only in that DVD-RW player!

Any help will be appreciated, thx.

Answer 1

You may have copied them into a wrong format and the computer or dvd is not able to recognize that it needs to play it.

Answer 2

One of them should play! Your PC may not be compatable with say +R, but shuold with the other, or vice versa! Some computers are compatable with both +, - formats, and some with just on of the two formats. Maybe you have a corrupted disk, or it didn't record the media.

Answer 3

Have you finalized burning your DVD, most DVDs will not play in another DVD player until you have finalized the DVD.

The exception is if you are using DVD+RW.

Answer 4

It could possibly be a problem with the burner itself.
