First time burn DVD - won't playback

This is my first post here. I have read many of the posts and have learned enough to screw things up. Therefore I need a little help backing up a DVD.

I am have a NEC 3550A burner. My media is HP 16x DVD-R. My DVD player is Cyberhome 300S. The software I used was DVD Decrypter and AVS Disc Creator.

I rip the original using DVD Decrypter. I can then view the DVD from my hard drive with no problem. I then use AVS Disc Creator to burn the files onto the blank DVD-R. The process is completed with no problems. At least that is what the software states. I take the backup DVD to my DVD player to see if it works. I just get the message "loading" and then nothing else happens. The player supposedly can playback DVD+-R/RW.

The interesting part is that when I place the backup DVD in my NEC drive and the autorun begins the computer recognizes the media as a CD not a DVD. I can go in and double click on the VOB and the movie will play.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply.

I just downloaded Imgburn an will download DVD Shrink and Ripit4Me.

In this case I did not need to compress the data so it sounds from your post that the media may be my biggest problem.

You mentioned getting DVD+R and booktyping them. How is that done? Can it be done through Imgburn opr is this a firmware issue? I just flashed to the latest firware from the NEC site.

Thanks,
