Hi everyone , i'm new here , i've just bought a pioneer 106d and tried to back up some of my dvd , i tried red dragon , ripped with smart ripper or shrink on dvd-r (lg or thnk-xtra brands) on dvd+rw (tdk) but they won't play on my GRUNDIG GDV 120 player . On my pc sometimes power dvd says there are corrupted files but media player plays well. Where do i go wrong? thanks for help
chimaira0, 1. Standalone players don't as a rule play RW media. Burn your backup on +R or -R media, what ever your standalone player's manual says is compatable. 2. Always use a good grade media, an "el Cheapo" will cause you errors no end - 3. You haven't told us what you have used to burn your VIDEO_TS folder with - Nero ?? CloneDVD ?? RecordNow Max ?? Did you make sure that ALL of your files are moved over to the burner (I think so because it worked in WMP)- Maybe one suggestion will help, if not, get back to us there's someone here most all the time - Happy Holidays, "P"
standalones are tricky with media type. some will play -r and +rw or any funky combination you can think of. Media is a big component. Use quality media. Usually you can get riteks for just over $1 each. Check compatiblity at: http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers.php The way you set up you burning program can have a huge difference. What program did you use. If you use nero or recordnow, check out the settings from these sites: http://www.chrismccann.co.uk/user_guides.htm http://www.dvdshrink.info/ If you something else, you might never get a successful burn.
thanks , finally i made it!!! I use nero for burning , and after trying with a DVD+R (stupid web pages telling me it should be -r!!!!)i suceeded! It was a tdk dvd+r , used smart ripper and dvd2one , burned with nero 6.0. If anyone has the same standalone player (GRUNDIG GDV120) ,this worked for me . Now i'm trying different DVD+R and see which are compatible. I'm going to try with an Itenso DVD+R. Thanks for all
