DVD does not play on DVD player

Hi Alps

What brand of DVD and DVD - R or DVD + R ?

I recommend:
- Verbatim (tried many brands that's why I bother)
- DVD-R

And though may be strange BUT at least 20Gb free space on internal harddisc.

Hi Alps & Sue

Alps. Sue is a most reliable source of information. I think this is the first time
I seen an hard to get advice from her. She is really a brick in all way.
I've made much greater blunders.

Try to get info from SONY and if You succeed please inform us what this
strange error code might indicate.

Test with:
- delete iDVD pref file - then
- use another DVD brand (Verbatim)

I am new to Discussions. I burned very successfully a DVD disk from iPhoto, a slide show of nearly 500 images of my great-grandson who was to have his bar mitzvah in Israel. (He has since had it, without my slideshow!)
I played the disk on my iMac here in LA. Flawless. I had no time to try it on a US DVD player.
When i took it to israel, where the family lives, it did not play on either their
PC (very recent Toshiba) or their DVD player, using the PAL system.

How can i record this onto a disk to play as a DVD in their equpment? Any other advice? A special type of disk?


hopefully, devra in USA

Hello bengt:

You are the most considerate of all that post here. Thanks for your support!

Hi Alps:

A brick all the way? Well, perhaps a brick-head now and then! LOL!

Sue

What writing speed are you using to burn the discs? (1x, 2x, 4x, 8x ???)

This may sound crazy - but I've had problems playing "Mac burned" DVD videos with my Panasonic DVD player. Once it froze completely - no error message. But when I took it in for service - the first thing the service guy asked was, "Did you unplug this player and let it set for a minute, then plug it in again?" He explained that this resets the player, they do this "all the time" to unfreeze players.

This doesn't exactly match your issue, but I was wondering if you'd tried that following the error message?

Also - to my dismay - I have learned that my (fairly expensive) Panasonic player does NOT "support" homemade DVD videos. So - I have ordered a Phillips model (for much less $$) which has been listed and recommended for this purpose.

I was unaware - manufacturers are fairly cavalier with their sales pitches and only the models which DO have a wide range of capabilities actually mention playing homemade videos in their literature.

So here too - it may or may not apply to your Sony unit. Just wondering - is the issue you're having one which is new or has it always had trouble with the DVDs you make yourself?

Hi Alps

Could be but not in this forum.

I think Mac-community is a more considerate society. Apple ridiculing
PC people - not my cup of tea. Mac is great without irony.
