I have burned a project to a disc, I am unable to play it on "older" DVD players. Is there a way to burn it to a disc to solve this?

Linda: Not sure if this will help or not, but some older players such as the Panasonics require only DVD - disks. If you are using DVD+ disks, they will not work in some older players. Newer players can accept both the + and the - versions. Hope this helps.

This happened to me as well, when trying to play a home-burned DVD-R on an older Sony DVD player. Many of the players that are more than about 5 years old don't seem to recognize DVD-R burned discs, only commercial "pressed" DVDs. The only thing I was able to do was buy an inexpensive newer DVD player (I got a new Sony player for about $40) and it plays all of my home-burned discs just fine.

We have found that the only players that will play ours are newer Panasonics with HDDs; our LG has NO idea what it is. IF your project is small enough you can burn HD / Blu ray quality to a DVD, but it would be a short movie.

Software can be downloaded online or you can request a disc from us - I would need to know what you operating system you have and if you are needing a media player to play blu ray/dvd or the burning software to burn cd/dvd/blu ray - Thank you

I can't seem to play DVD's. I load it and I just get a list of files. Do I have to install a media player?

I called a tech and he said no, and yet some people are saying yes. Does the Nero Disc (came w/ player) do anything to allow streaming from pc to player?

You need an LG burner that has the M-Disc logo in order to burn discs, but M-Disc is playable on any brand DVD player

yes I can play back discs that I have burned... I can play playaway audiobooks( preloaded digital players) and of course other CDs that are manufactured by a publisher. The sound is great. Jean

okay, from my experience, you can play DVDs, CDs and burn CDs - I have not yet tried to burn a DVD. It has worked very well for me so far!

This Player IS Compatible with DVD-R's. NOt sure what software your using to burn DVD's, but I have had No Problems since day one playing DVD-R's!!

Yes. I believe all Blu-ray and DVD players or burners are backward compatible to CD. And the burners will even burn CD's

They are right. Download to computer and burn disc , I 'm not real computer literate as I have a problem viewing the disc on my tv. Which I blame on not knowing how to the right software to burn a DVD. But anyway, I wanted to add that you could also email the video as an attachment to your prof,

Thank you Frolian. I've been trying to burn a DVD for a couple hours, and I didn't know until you shared. I have DVD+R DVDs. You're my hero!!

Yes, being able to play older games was one of my reasons for this purchase. It comes in a Microsoft package and I have had no problems since installing. Not all old game discs will play however. There are upgrades for many of them. Do some online research to find out if your favorite games have the needed upgrade available. Hope this helps.

I attempted to play my DVD on it and it FAILED. There is an adapter you can buy to convert your CD's into great sounding LP's, but this requires much effort and concentration. I suggest closing your eyes and listening very carefully to your player when the CD is playing and you will hear sound produced very similar to your desired music.

Wipe the disc with a clean cotton cloth and water. Play in a different player. Wait until the disc is really scratched up and completely unplayable before using the device to resurface and polish. It is a one time fix.

I don't know how you play game on the DVD player. I bought it as a gift for someone.I don't believe that you can play games on them.

Absolutely! Not that I'm encouraging illegal activity, but, if you have a DVD decrypter, you can save a copyrighted DVD to disc (via the decrypter) and import it into VS using the import wizard (just remember to look for the saved/decrypted folder, not a disc in a drive).
