    Ok,

    Here is my question, I am using DVD-Shrink with Nero 6 to backup some movies so I don't have to lend my originals to people. My question lies with the DVD players. How come some players play the DVD-backup and some don't? If this is an issue with the media, which one is has the best compability with the players?

    thanks,

    stzd8,

    Older players liked either (+) media or (-) media, rarely both. The Mfg. spec sheet has to be consulted.

    Newer Players will play everything (including Dog-chewed Frisbees) No worries :p


    Again, we're dealing with players made before the Bronze Age - I think you'll find that (-) media will play on more than will the (+) media :)

    Happy Burning and Welcome to the Neighborhood -

    Pete
