PE 12 Burned disc won't play to end

I stand by my belief that the issue is that you're trying to play DVD-RWs on your DVD player. There's every indication, based on what you've told us.

I guess it's up to you whether or not you want to believe me though.

Bob, I did that also, tried two different discs although they were both the same format DVD + RW

I am burning to a DVD + RW and it has worked fine in the past with the same format disc and the same DVD player, that is what is confusing to me.

It plays all the way thru on my computer but not on my TV DVD player.  Also when I burn to a permanent disc I use Verbatim DVD-R discs and they have always played fine on my TV DVD player with other projects.

Any other thoughts?  Thanks

When you say the disc won't play all the way through, I'm assuming you mean when you play the disc on your TV's DVD player.

If the disc plays fine on your computer but not on your DVD player, tthe most likely issue is that you're recording to a DVD-RW. Remember that home-burned DVD-Rs and DVD+Rs use a chemical process to burn their data to a disc. This is as opposed to commercial DVDs, which are pressed into the metal disc under the plastic. That's why some DVD players have trouble playing home-burned DVDs.

But DVD-RWs use a completely different process for "burning" their information to a DVD disc -- and DVD players can have even more difficulty playing them.

In other words, the way to test drive your DVDs is on your computer's disc drive. If it plays fine there, then the issue is with your DVD player-- and it may play fine on most but not all disc players.
