Why does my burned dvds not play on my dvd player ?

Question

i down loaded dvd shrink 3.2 off the internet and i can play these burned dvds using this software on my computer but not on any of my dvd players

Answer 1

Probably you didn't burn the dvds properly; I never use dvd shrink to burn the discs, but only to shrink the movie so it can be stored into a single layer dvd.

Try to burn the discs using a proper software (like Nero Burning Rom) and, this is very important, select to create a Dvd-Video, not a Dvd-Rom: it seems to be the same thing, but it is not so; once, it happened even to me: a disc burned as dvd rom plays correctly on the pc, but is not recognized by a desktop dvd player.

Answer 2

because you didn't format it correctly. When you make a dvd you have to burn it with NTSC format (american) instead of PAL (foreign), which is prob. what you did.
