can only play one type. You might want to see if there is a firmware
upgrade to the burner that can covert it to a dual format burner if it
isn't already. Also some media might not work as well. I know some of
the Memorex media won't play on certain dvd players. You might want to
try a different type and see if that works. But that still doesn't
guarantee it will work on everyone's player. Unfortunately they haven't
decided on one standard yet and so it sometimes makes it hard to know
which dvd player will be able to read the disc and which one won't.

Subject: dvd issue
Hi,
Maybe some of you know the answer.
I got one of those DVD burners- a pioneer but I'm not sure of the exact
no.
I burnt a dvd of my wedding and it seems to play in the dvd writer.
However, it does not play on my tvs dvd player whcih is a yamaha. the
specs
for the yamaha say it plays dvds and video cds.
So, the question is why?
Is the dvd writers marks on the rw dvd just not strong enough for the
tvs
player or is there some sort of encryption or perhaps some different
standards?
Or perhaps a setting in the software I used to burn it? I used the one
the
dvd player came with whcih says nero and ulead. Not sure which one it
is
but I can go look.
Basically, I need to send out the dvd to people and it needs to work on
their tvs.
Thanks. DRE

Subject: dvd burner recommendations please
Well, I ready to make the leap into recordable dvds. I really want to
backup all my expensive xbox games, and I'm about to get kenwood's
double-din-screen dvd player for my car which playes mp3s(4.7 gigs of
mp3
action? Yummy!).
I want to get one that does all the formats, and will have the best
readability across different players and the like. I'm not yet worried
about backing up my dvd's, unless those double density burners have made
it
to market yet(haven't heard much about it so I don't think they have).
Any recommendations, gotchas, etc etc.
Also, what should I look for with the media. I want a couple-3 rw for
work/home file shuffling, but most will be write once.
I plan on ordering from newegg, though I will look locally for a price
compare. I'll spend an extra $10 for the same drive if I can walk out
of
the store with it right then.
Thanks as always,
Matthew
