Hello, I've really tried to look through all the other posts, but I can't find any solutions to my various DVD burning problems. Please help me if you know any answers. Thanks. I've had a lot of trouble getting burned DVDs to play on my home DVD player (even though they work fine on my laptop), and currently I have a DVD movie disk image which gave me a lot of trouble just burning to disk (although I finally burned it). I have an HP DV6253cl laptop, Windows Vista home premium and Nero 8. My DVD burner is the factory installed one - it says TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L632D ATA Device; the HP website says I have 'Super Multi 8X DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support'. My home DVD player is a DVD/VCR combo from Sony - model SLV-D281P (it's pretty new). I've burned many DVD movies which I had downloaded, etc. Usually they don't play on my home DVD player (a few worked), and they always play fine on my HP laptop. I usually use Nero Vision to burn them if my files are either .mpeg or .avi, and I use Nero Burning Rom if my files are .vob. In that case, I just copy all the files under Video-TS folder into the corresponding folder in my Nero DVD-Movie compilation. It usually burns fine with no errors, but then my Sony DVD player says 'err' when I put it in. I've been using HP DVD-+r blank disks. Currently, I have a movie which is an .img disk image file that I downloaded. When I try to burn the image with Nero Burning Rom, I get an 'invalid block address' error during the burn. I tried Nero Recode, but I got a runtime error and it stopped the program. I burned the image with no problems using Nero Express and also with DVD Decrypter, but those final DVDs don't play on my Sony home DVD player. I extracted the .img file using MagicISO and then tried burning the resulting .vob files with Nero Burning Rom, but I either go the 'invalid block address', runtime error, or it wouldn't play on the Sony DVD player (I honestly can't remember which). Please help. I'm using DVD+ blank disks, so that should be fine. My Sony DVD player manual says it plays DVD Video, DVD-RW/-R, DVD+RW/+R and DVD+R DL. What am I doing wrong? Thanks very, very much.

They are suspected crapola...would you mind posting the disc information (MID) or even a burn log? Do you have Imgburn?
I have two Nero log files saved, but they're very long. Is there any way I can post them here as attachment files, rather than copy and paste the entire log file into my thread reply? I don't really have any other info about my disks, just that they're HP DVD+R 16x disks. If I need to, I'm happy to paste my Nero log here, but it's really long. Thanks again.
See here to post your Nero log: http://my.afterdawn.com/locoeng/blog_entry.cfm/385 But what I think is the real issue here is the media, if you don't have Imgburn get it...it's a small app. Load the program in Write mode and copy/paste all the info from the right window here with a disc in your drive.
I don't think I saved my Nero Burning Rom log. I do have a Nero Express log, but again, it's really long. I have another log, but I can't remember which program it's from; I've tried burning with MagicISO burner, DVD Decrypter, and a few others. Since I was eventually able to burn this image I'm currently working with, I guess basically my real problem is that most of the time the DVDs won't play on my home DVD player. Usually, I can burn DVDs with no errors (and therefore, no error log); they work fine on my laptop, but that's the only place they'll play. What media would you recommend I use?
I took your suggestion and installed ImgBurn. I loaded it in Write mode with a disk inserted (my blank HP DVD+R disk). This is what was listed in the right side window - TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L632D HH16 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD+R Disc Information: Status: Empty Erasable: No Free Sectors: 2,295,104 Free Space: 4,700,372,992 bytes Free Time: 510:03:29 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 2.4x, 4x, 6x, 8x Physical Format Information (ADIP): Disc ID: CMC MAG-M01-00 Book Type: DVD+R Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 1 Track Path: Parallel Track Path (PTP) Linear Density: 0.267 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196,608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 2,491,711 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 0 Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Disc ID: CMC MAG-M01-00 Book Type: DVD+R Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 1 Track Path: Parallel Track Path (PTP) Linear Density: 0.267 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196,608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 2,491,711 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 0
