Why doesnt my Mitsubishi DVD work?

Question

I just bought a couple of blank DVD's but when i have uploaded movies onto it. It does not play in a dvd player. All it says is unknown. Anyone know how to fix it?

Answer 1

Bit hard without more info, but are you trying to play the DVDs in the same player? If it's in a different player, you will probably need to 'finalise' the DVDs in the original machine first to make it playable on other DVD units.

Put each DVD you recorded onto back in the original device. You should have some kind of on-screen menu option, which you should select and look for something which says 'finalise'. Perhaps under something like 'disk management'. Do this, it'll take a couple of minutes typically, and it should then be OK to use on another machine. It's never a guarantee that all self-recorded DVDs will play in all other DVD players, but most do.

Answer 2

Your RECORDING FORMAT is the problem.

When you burn DVDs you must finalize the recording, and to do that you need a good solid DVD software package that can burn the correct file type that all DVDs are burned in.....

Which may mean you also need a DVD file converter too....hopefully not, but it depends on the source of the DVD file you uploaded.

But worse yet....you may have copyright protected files from your source.....

It's not your Mitsubishi causing the problem, it's the fact you're trying to burn a DVD from an unknown source of DVD video......
