DVD Burning Issue

I am having issues burning DVDs. I finished a project and it burned just fine. Completed the second project and burned the disc but it only plays on my oldest DVD player, a way old Toshiba. Neither my newer Sony nor Panasonic players will recognize the disc. I have tried 3 other disc types and none will play on anything but the Toshiba.

 

I attached a PNG with my system info.

 

If you need anything else please let me know.

Thanks,

John

Did you use the same brand, type, and run of discs?

Peru Bob,

No they were all Memorax but different types, -R +RW +R, even tried a +R from a different spindle.

This may or may not help, but I NEVER go direct to DVD... I write an ISO and then use a program that gives a lot more control... I have my burn speed set to 1 and then the program will adjust to the lowest possible setting for the combination of drive and brand of media

 

Set your DVD output to an ISO file on your hard drive and then use something like the FREE https://www.imgburn.com/ to write the ISO to disc (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program - DO be sure to uncheck anything you don't want from the download site) You may also use Imgburn for general backup of files or folders to disc

 

Also, try the opposite type... if you are using -R try a +R blank, or the reverse

John T Smith,

Tried imgburn with no success.

I've already tried opposite type discs with no success either.

Thanks
