Hi,
I am new so be gentle.....I have purchased 1 click dvd and run this with dvd43......my dvd copies are usually backups from original dvds that I have....but the copies I do only play on my Sony dvd player and not on my Toshiba or Panasonic which would be handy as these players are upstairs in the kids rooms....I use Ritek 8x dvd-r ....what am I doing wrong?

p.s. sorry if this is a stupid question but I am literally only starting out and don't know a lot about copying...

thanks

well you should be able to play your dvds that are copies on any dvd player, make sure youre making exact copies, and not svcds or vcds. some dvd players have problems with those

this is all to common with top branded standalone players,

what burner are you using? if you can use +R discs and change the booktype to dvd-rom, they should play ok.

As ako said I would try using DVD+R with the BookType to DVD-ROM. I have found this has worked even when normal DVD-R does not work, or I would try anouther brand of DVD-R media. The new Sony 8x DVD-R media seems to be very compatible with older players.
