Burning questions

I have a GX630 that I just got, I tried to burn a movie on a dvd+r last night and convert x said it completed but it won't play in my standard player. When done in my desktop or ibm T60 they work fine. Any Ideas.. Do I need to flash the drive to something else? Thanks

 

Use VLC Media player , that thing will play anything.

EDIt : you mean playing it in your standard Home DVD player ?
Some older DVD player won't play Divx etc etc check the manual for playback support.
You can't do anything to change that i'm afraid , best option is to get a new player.

 

They play fine using using the same software just different computers to burn..

 

Use that thing in the link.

 

I am not trying to play them on my laptop, I want to play them on the tv..

 

there you go.

 

I guess I having trouble getting the point across. same burning software same type of disk just different computer and disk works in the standard dvd player. Just doesn't work when burned from the GX630

 

oh! duh. :/ sorry. um... maybe you're burning the disk into different formats.

 

Now i get it

Or Try using another burning software ..

one thing you said is you used dvd+r some + formats require booktype to be set to be played on stand alone players. did you use convert x to burn or else what? what are your settings in convert x?

 

I used convertX to convert and burn, but I think I am having cd/dvd drive problems, I tried to copy some files I put on a CD-r and it took 2 hours and still didn't finish....

 

what model burner is in your system, most likely a optiarc but which one. maybe a firmware update could help if not then possibly a bad drive. one thing is with dvd+r you want to set them to dvd-rom if possible. this is either usually in the bitsetting of the burning program. but convert x should have done it for you normally, personally i use dvd-r myself. but both are good and you will get different stories from everyone on which is better. dvd-r just works for me where i have had issues with dvd+r in the past in some players.

 

Optiarc AD-7560S....Thanks
