and i have a newer dvd/vcr combo box. it's made by sylvania but again the phil and friends from 12/27/02 or whatever the date of the beacon theatre works and plays on it after i got the advice of the folders and burning it. on the recordnow program, i got under the data burning option. would that matter. i mean again that is what i did for the phil and friends so i did figure that it would work again

is there a DVD-Video option [thats what its called in Nero]? if so, try that.

im running on winxp home
and yes i have dvd playback software.... its just really strange, the dvds I burn will play in everything else.. standalone dvd players, other computer.... even my xbox... but my pc(the one that made the copy) wont read it.

but dvds other people have burned for me with their computers read fine in it

At what speeds do you burn? Try it slower. Do you have the newest firmware for your drive? Have you tried a different media.

I had a similar problem with cd-rs from Traxdata on my old Cd-burner. They played fine on all other drives, but the device I burnt it with never read the cds. I switched to different media.

I had a very similar problem with my CD burner right before it died altogether and I had to replace it:

I could burn succesful CDs that played on my CD player, but I could not read or open any CDs/CD-ROMs (audio or software) with that drive. My drive would burn files, but would not read them.

It was an excellent Lite-on burner, and I probably burned well over 3,000 discs before it died, so I got my money's worth out of it.

is it anything to do with scms set to 1, so it'll only copy one time? just a silly guess.

[saltman]

computer burning software don't do scms that I know of, or atleast by default. if you're referring to serial copy management system. SCUMS. and it would read regardless just not write.

i have tried all different sorts of media
doesnt matter what i use, just wont read the ones it burns

I was wondering what the difference is between "4x" and "4x DVD" when you set write speed? The "Help" for Toast bites and gives no info about this whatsoever. I also came up blank at the Roxio website.

I'm using Toast Titanium on OS10.3.9.

Thanks in advance.

4x refers to CD-R/W speed and 4x DVD refers to DVD-/+R/W speed.

[gsmyth79]

Thanks ffooky, you are very knowledgeable.

One more question: why does it give the 4x option when burning a DVD?

[ffooky]

Because it's one of the theoretically available speeds for DVD burning. Once you have a blank in the drive, the speeds given in bold are those that are actually available to you.

[gsmyth79]

Ah, I usually hit record when the drive is still open. Thanks again!

[ffooky]

No worries. I was a bit perplexed as to how come you were asking these questions but you've just explained it

There really are a lot of nice new features in Toast 7 but the imminent 7.0.1 is definitely needed to address the bugs.

[gsmyth79]

Yeah, that's going to be one of my next purchases I believe.
