dvds not playing on dvd player.

Step # 1 - Delete Roxio. It's about as friendly as the plague.
Remove all Roxio tentacles and tendrils with Roxio Zapper –

Then use this guide for doing your DVD backups.

BTW, you may have used your media before for CD copying BUT DVD's are another story.

You want to use RiData, Ritek G04's, Sony, TDK OR verbatim DataLife.

Using other media like Memorex is asking for trouble as its quality control is piss poor.

Your choices are easy, follow our suggestions and get excellent burns or don't and collect a major amount of coasters

Let me know how you make out, OK ?

Cheers,

Pete

Mr first blank DVD's I bought were Memorex...Out of 20 I have about 12 coasters...so far no coasters with Ritek (Ridata).

thanks,but i have tried playing a dvd an it doesnt work,is there something wrong with my drive now(it makes a pulsing noise when i put a dvd in

 

deanne,

There's some times when I hear,

When the theme song from the "Twilight Zone" runs through my head and I think, This guy has got to get himself a new drive -

My friend, This is one of those times -

Best of luck my friend, Best of luck -

it only makes the sound everynow and again but it still doesnt play dvds,do i need to buy a new one?

 

hi,i have deleted roxio and installed nero but having problems,when it copied a dvd it stuck at 17% when i tried it again it said it doesnt support this kind of dvd,i have used these blanks before but now having problems(yellow datawrite dvd-r)and is nero always this slow at copying,it took 40mins to copy 17%

 

Sometimes or not - It still makes no difference, A drive shouldn't make sounds no matter what -

Finally, when doing DVD's for video backups if you don't wish to take our advice then please don't complain when your ,

give you problems.

We've told you our experiences have proven to us - there is no cure for crappy media. Some will work some will not (but look how much money you're saving) -

Your noisy drives requires attention (probably replacement) and your media needs to be upgraded -

Cheers
