    WMC burned dvds won't play on dvd player


    Up until 2 weeks ago I had Windows Vista. Media Center worked great and I have tons of dvds I have done. I decided to do another one today, burned normally and popped it into my dvd player on my tv and it read disk error. That seemed odd but after 3 more tries with the same results I decided to take a movie I had previously burned while using Vista and make another copy. Burns normally, but yet this one won't play either.

    Now, the older copy played fine.

    Same batch of dvds as the older copy, from the same package. What could be causing this? I did notice that this happened when I went to my mother's with the external hard drive and tried it there months ago. Hers would not play on her dvd player either, but mine would. Same files, same dvds, same everything except from Vista to 7.

    Please Help.

    Yes, it works on the PC and another DVD player but not the other one. Same files, same batch of dvds, different operating system.

Hi , Can't play a burned music DVD on new DVD player , but it will play on A Blu-RAY DVD PLAYER-- the disc is DVD-R- I made the disc on ROXIO from mp3's that I ripped from my regular Cd's. Should it play on a regular dvd player or is this the norm ? Thanks, Ralph
:mad: This is hugely annoying! I can play most DVDs without any bother with VLC. I recently got 'The World at War - Ultimate Restored Edition', but the discs won't play! First, VLC just wouldn't open the DVD. I kept trying, and eventually it opened the DVD, but the audio and video were...
I'm having a problem trying to play a DVD using my PC under W7. Originally, I had Windows Media Player installed and that was working fine. Then, I read that MPC-Home Cinema was better than Windows Media Player and so I tried to D/L and install that. But during the installation procedure I...
