Why will a DVD recorded by my standard DVD recorder not play in any other DVD player?
I can watch the recorded program on the DVD in the DVD recorder itself, but for example, the DVD will not play in my portable DVD player or Xbox or my other regular DVD player? Any ideas on why?
You might also want to make sure that you finalize the DVD. You generally have the option somewhere in the DVD recorder’s menu. If the disc is not finalized, it will play on the recorder, but not on any other DVD player. Once you finalize the disc, however, you can no longer write to it.
it depends on the format of the disk and your drive. + or _ r/rw does not alway work on all players. also it depends on how you recored it, alot of protected video wont play anywhere. you can take the show to your computer and re-record the program.
