Sorry guys I got kinda busy there for a while, anyways, I just tried doing another Barney and its still did the same thing, so I tried Joy Ride and it did the same thing, Like I said when I play a normal dvd on my stereo it works fine, but when I try a backup I only get sound out of the right channel and on the left you cant hear anything?, man this is killing me
nosty10s, Please refresh my memory, When you play the copy in your PC does it play out of both speakers ? Have you tried to play it in another PC to see if both speakers are working there when it is played ? Thanks there Good Guy - Cheers,
OK so if I'm reading all of this right, both the back-up and the original play correctly in your PC. That means that the audio is correct on the disc, but computer drives can play about anything. The DVD player can't pick out the left channel audio off the burned disc, yet works correctly with the original. Sounds like a case of poor media: Get some Ritek G-04 and see what happens. Hehehe.

I will buy some new media today and see what happens, then, What would you guys suggest for good media?, and also can you buy silver buttom disks?
Get Ritek G-04 or Verbatim. The top of the disc is the "label" side, the bottom is the side with the recording surface. At least that's what I always considered the top and bottom. I get mine here most of the time: http://www.supermediastore.com/dvd-r-ritek.html
Sony, RiData, Ritek G04, Verbatim "DataLife" are considered excellent quality and should give you no problems Cheers,
Sorry no, if you're using decent media then perhaps your player's laser is out of alignment. You have sound on the disc. To double check it, head to an electronics store, one with a display and try your DVD in several different players. My guess ? It'll play in them - It's hard to fix that which isn't broke. The sound is there - we can't fix it from this end. If you wish to continue ? Begin using RW media to cut down on your coaster collection - cheers -
Okay the burner I am using is brandnew and has only burned 15 cds or less?, could it be a factory junker?
It may just be your DVD player. As Pete suggested, try your disc in some other players. If it does not play the audio properly then it may well be your burner. Kinda doubt it though at this point.
nosty10s, I can't see as it's your burner OR anything to do with your PC. The sound is on your disc where it's supposed to be so your burner is defiantly working just fine. I was suggesting that your player may be out of wack. Attempt to play it on other DVD players to see what is what. Beating on your burner or your PC won't affect anything. The original thought, if you'll remember, was that you were using poor media. You said you put it on some of our recommended media. If that is true, the only thing left is your standalone. We've given it everything we have, sorry but we've eliminated everything that could cause your problem so again, try several other players. Cheers my friend and, if you are a resident of the USA, I believe you're having a holiday so, Happy Holiday Pete
