Over the last week or so when ever I try to copy a dvd the disc will not play. it will still burn cd's fine but with a dvd when we go to watch it it says cannot play disc. I usually use nero with any dvd. is my burner shot or will a virus cause it? Plase help. Thank you.
We'll need a bit more info on the process you use to burn, the media you use, etc. The more knowledge we have, the better we'll be able to help you out.
Well I have the latest version of "Any DVD" I use nero to compress and burn. It use to work fine, but the last several times it hasn't now. I also tried it with DVD Fab Platinum and Clone dvdv2 and none worked. Yesterday I went to copy a fitness dvd of my wifes that isn't even copy righted and it will not play.
i think its the discs used! are they a new batch? can you use dvd identifier or dvd info pro or imgburn to tell us the dye code off the disc please... (check the dye off a good play disc then check the dye off a bad disc.) also if there +R can you booktype with your drive?
They are the same batch I have been using, all of a sudden this started happening. I can still burn data dvd's with them soe I don't know if I got a virus or malware or something that is cuasing this.
Nero doesnt give me one, it sasys that it's complete just like normal but when you put the dvd in the players they all say "Cannot read disc"
Here's how you get nero's burn log: c:\program files\ahead\nero\nerohistory.log Copy the last log and paste it back in your next post .Erase the serial# on the top. It'll look something like this: 1A20-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx. It'll give us a lot of info. Use nero infotool or dvdidentifier and tell us the MID Code from the good backups and a backup that won't play.This will tell us if that MID code changed. Nero said successful after the burn.Sounds like a compatability issue. Slap one of those discs that won't play,into the benq 1655 and try to see it it'll play it. Test it out on some other players,pc,game consoles,-from friends,family. See how they react to them. This will help narrow down the problem.
all good advice there, i still say discs i have had say 10 out of 50 bad in same batch... burn slow! i burn at 4x dont burn to outer edge! i set project size to 4300meg dont do anything else on pc while burning could be buffer underun!
