Cant play burned music dvd disc on dvd player

[neorican]

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

Depends on how old, model
of said player. But yes, most
DVD players will only play music
files from CD. And only in limited
formats.

rvbfan, you're saying most DVD players will only play music files from CDs (not DVDs ?) and only in certain formats.

neorican asked: "Should it (the DVD burned) play on a regular dvd player or is this the norm ?"

It was the YES that's throwing me off. I think the yes means "No it will not play - it is normal"

No work on machine.

checking a little more , I think that one needs to read what format it will play --The format that that my dvd disc is - is dvd-r which i believe is the most common one. I checked some new DVD players like a sony unit and it says that it plays DVD-r---

This is most confusing and again I am only talking about a DVD disc with songs from mp3 only--
Any additional help would be appreciated-

Thanks again,,, Ralph

You should have no problems, but not all dvd units are created equal.

Can you play the dvd on the same unit on which the dvd was burned?

THe DVD was burned on ROXIO, but Roxio is not really a player - It will play on a BLURAY player but not on a non-bluray player -- the disc is a dvd-R-- tried it on 3 different non- bluray players and it will not play.\\
Very strange , - hope that this is not the norm---- any more info would be appreciated----Thanks , Ralph

You might want to investigate using Win 7 to burn your DVDs/CDs.

WIN + F1 keycombo | ENTER
WIN=key with microsoft logo on top.

You need to use a CD disc not a DVD disc.

To INVADER--
After Further research , you are correct - You can burn a Cdr using data mp3 and it will play on a non- bluray dvd player-- I learned this by trial and error and was going to write it here , but you beat me to it-- I could not get the answer anywhere- the only little problem is that if A dvd could be used , You could get twice as many songs on it -- but you cant have everything --- The issue is solved-- Thanks, Ralph

Yea it would be nice to get more on a disc but I'm not complaining when i can usually average right around 180 mp3 files on a disc for in the truck lol.

I suggst you use some other DVD burner software. And before burning, you shoud know what DVD discs that your DVD player can support so that you can get the burned DVD videos accrodingly. Anyhow, I hope your problem can be solved as soon as possible.

Hi windows 7 lover,

Can you find any DVD PLAYER( not BLUE RAY ) that will play a music DVD disc- well maybe more than one- In talking to Sony they believed that none will do it - But maybe some very high end one might do it -- If you want to go that route, then it would be best to buy BLURAY which definitely does it. Spec descriptions about this seemed unclear to me.

Do you know of any specific DVD player that will actually do this ?

Roxio 11is one of the best burners out there and I don't think that change would make any difference.

Thanks for your reply , but the bottom line -- Get a blu ray and the problem is resolved-- Thanks again - Ralph

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-

Sir,

I realize that you are trying to help , but I believe that you do not understand the problem or maybe I did not
write it clearly - as such, your comments do not relate to the issue --- It is very easy to burn mp3's to a DVD ( and yes of course dvd-r ), but it will not play on a DVD PLAYER-- That is the issue -IT will without a doubt play on a BLURAY PLAYER--OOPS - ONE EXCEPTION -it will play on a portable DVD player because it comes with a screen.

You can burn it with any free burner, so it is not worth Paying $40 for the software that you mentioned.

Thanks for Your interest , but The problem is completely solved.

It is probably because of the type of DVD disc you use to burn DVD. DVD-R- is more suitable for older DVD player. For new one, you may need to change it.
