Do you need a certain make of DVD? I have tried a few but none will copy. A CD will copy. That's why I think its the dvd thats not right.

Hi Chase, Give us a call. The phone number is in the back of the unit. Our toll free tech support can help you trouble shoot. We suspected either you are using a low quality blank discs or your master disc need to be format, but we need to be sure. Thank you very much!

It should, although I haven't tried it. Most people want to go the other way around... Record on the hard drive (temporary) and archive onto DVD (temporary to semi-permanent to permanent, depending on the type of DVD disk.) May I ask why you would want to put something from a playable archived format onto a temporary unit?

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,

Do you have it on CD? I did not have any trouble with the CDs playing. Have you read your instructions. They are very helpful.

Hello. I have not had any problems with the DVD's or Blu-Rays I have bought. It has worked flawlessly every time. Perhaps it is possible to have trouble with homemade discs, but I have not tried any of mine in the player.

probanbly not. dvd's have a coding making them impossible or very difficult to copy. a special software is needed.

It was not difficult for me because the disk that I was copying was a DL disk. I lowered my speed from 16X to 8X and the copies that I needed burned flawlessly. DL disks hold twice as much data as a regular disk and the movie that I needed to copy was DL format. Other than that it is the same as burning any other disk but I wold only us the DL to copy a DL. Just my opinion.

Have you tried it on copyrighted movies? I have a bunch of older exercise tapes that I would like to put on DVDs. Thanks,

If it's seeking a disk, switch to HDD (hard drive disk) rather than DVD and see what happens. If you want to use a re-recordable DVD it must be a DVD+RW, not a DVD-RW.

If it is a DVD you probably will have to get a dual layer blank DVD. Some if the DVD blanks that are single layer don't have enough space

I've played many moves on it but perhaps they've all been regular DVD. I know I've successfully burned many BluRays (for iTunes sharing to Apple TV, which is the primary reason I bought it) but when I just tried to play a BluRay on the computer (VLC Media Player installed Win8 Bootcamp on Mac Mini hardware) I got an error, so maybe there is an issue playing BluRays. I'll mess around with it and see if I can get it to work and let you know.

I also have 2 but they both work, no problems. Have done hundreds of DVD's with them. Sorry, can't help you.

Only thing I can think of is the recorder. Try using a different recorder. Did the recorder close and finalized the dvd. Some people leave it open to add to dvd later. These are not the disk for that. Check your recorder settings and make sure it closes and finalize dvd.

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!!

Sorry, I have never tried to play a dvd that I recorded myself. It seems like the process should be the same as the motion picture companies use to create dvds so my guess is that the player should read them.

Check your computer's documentation to check if your drive can write to DVDs or if it is just a CD drive or just a DVD reader and not a burner. If it is a burner, check if it can take a -R disc (some drives can only burn +R discs). If you know it's a burner and it can take a -R disc, try another disc, or try different software to burn. Sometimes Roxio gives me issues and different burning software can be better. Good Luck!
