Sorry if this is a duplicate post....
I am having a problem playing a DVD on my home machine(s) I use DVD Decypter to get a movie on my hard drive. I use Nero 6 to burn the files to a DVD (I was told to use data dvd). Nero burns the DVD fine (takes awhile) it plays fine on my computer BUT no matter what DVD stand alone player I use (I have tried 3 different ones) it will give me an error message.
I am using dual layer dvd's and my burner supports this. How can I make these discs play on a home machine? |

Your problem is probably the dual layer discs, you need a player capable of playing dual layer burned discs. If I can't fit a movie on 1 single layer disc, I just split it and use 2 discs, it's far cheaper and the discs play on any DVD player. |

The double layer DVD's claim to be able to play in dvd players. This is not so?
On the back of the disc it says "Once this DVD+R DL is written it will maintain compatibility with most DVD video players and DVD-ROM drives."
Not home machines???? |

Not many players claim to play burned dual layer discs, older players definitely wouldn't make that claim. Are you setting the booktype to DVD-ROM? + discs have never had the compatibility of - discs. That said it could be the quality of the discs themselves, or the burner. Most burners tend to favor certain brands of media and dislike others. |

I'm using Fuji DVD +R DL. It says once written to it will play.
It plays fine on a few different computers, just not my stand alone(s) |

Are you setting the booktype to DVD-ROM? If not you should be. |
