Hello all, Here's my situation. A friend of mine fit some old events for me on a Sony DVD-R (120 min/4.7GB). I received the disc and popped it into our Sony DVD player downstairs, and it worked - no problem. However, I REALLY want to be able to use it on my DVD player upstairs, which is a Toshiba SD-V290 (VCR/DVD combo). But when I put the disc in, it takes forever, you hear it reading, but then it finally ejects the disc and says "ERROR" on the screen in the upper-right corner. FYI, the disc will also not load on my DVD-ROM drive on my computer. But I'm more concerned about it not playing on my Toshiba player. Isn't there something I could do to try to get this thing to work properly? I know it works obviously (on the Sony player, at least), but what can I do? I appreciate any help with this. Jason
not all players support the same media...i cannot get DVD-R's to play in any of my players and my burner does not support DVD-R at all so i stick with DVD+R, how old is the toshiba vice the sony???? i recall hearing that the newer DVD players will play both -R/RW and +R/RW
Hi there, I have a Toshiba DVD Player and it's very picky. For best results: Use quality media and burn at 2x or 4x MAX on good media. Burning at 2x solved all my problems with that DVD Player. And yes, I have cheap media, I'm getting Taiyo Yuden on my next buy !
