Hi,

I made a dvd yesterday using nero. everything is fine except i can't play it in my dvd player on the tv. it works fine playing through my pc and 360 but not my dvd player. the dvd player is fine at playing anything else aswell. no problems with it.
its a wharfdale dvd 750S.

any help? thanks

Could be the case that your DVD player will not play writable DVD's. Some old or cheap DVD players don't support them. On the bright side it may play DVD-R while not playing DVD+R or vice versa. So if your copied dvd is on dvd-r try dvd+r.

Well its DVD-R. is there any way i can get around it? any hack or code or something?

I'd doubt it. As far as I know it's just an inadequacy in the dvd driver itself. Try DVD+r and see if it works. Also try rw media.

also try writing the copied dvd at a lower speed, say 4x rather than 8x

If you do try a DVD-R+ change the booktype in nero to DVD-ROM
Might help with compatiblity. You can only do this with + and if you DVD burner supports it.

VCDHelp lists a 750 (no 750s). Although the table says it supports DVD-R, if you read down through it, it would appear to be a goof on the part of a submitter. All others say that it doesn't support -R but does support +R.
