    howdy
    i burned a copy of a dvd movie...used freeware to compress it so it would fit on one dvd...put it in my dvd player and it worked fine...video, audio, menus, etc...
    just put it in to play and ....nothing...
    actually, it showed a few frames, as though it was skipping, then went to pause...now it just goes direct to pause....any advice??
    this is the first dvd i've burned...so i may just be fouled up in a general way....

    hi sherm
    sounds like crappy media,try ritek go4 or verbatim,see if that doesnt solve your problem.

    hate to sound dense, but are you referring to the actuall dvd i burned or the software used to burn...also, thanks for the quick reply

    finally, after several attempts it actually did work....puzzling, to say the least

    That's odd, nothing is going to affect the data that is physically burned on the disc unless it is damaged by heat or scratched, etc. If it played once it ought to play again. Can you play the thing in your computer? Heck, maybe it is just really crappy media and is delaminating at the edge or something. What kind of media is it?
    I use Ritek like Jim recommends and never have problems with it.

    Well I didn't hit the reply button quick enough. But it plays now? Maybe your player is having problems.
