panasonic DMR-EH57 error: "PORT UNSUP" with some DVD-RW/DVD+RW

[carsten888]

I got a panasonic DMR-EH57. It plays normal DVD's no prob, but my self burned dvd-/+rw give problems.

Some dvd-/+rw play and some don't and give this error on the display: "PORT UNSUP".

I called Panasonic, asked them what this error means, they didn't know (!?)).

I googled for hours: nothing.

I thought it was a problem of different disk-brands, but then I tested burning in different ways on the same brand-type dvd's and found soem worked and some did not. So I concluded it's not the difference in dvd's that is the problem.

It seems that the error occurs when dvd's were burned with certain software.

can NOT read:
- deepburner
- NTI cd-dvd-maker

Can read:
- pinnacle instant photoalbum
- sonic myDvd

How can I burn my downloaded dvd's?

More details about the source, please

Are these complete DVD structures, or are you downloading avi files and converting them yourself. If the latter, how ? What software are you using ?

Have you tried using Imgburn to burn your discs ? If is probably the single best burning application for DVD Video available to the general public.

@guns1inger:
sorry, forgot to mention that what I am trying to burn is a complete dvd-structure (directory "VIDEO_TS" with .vob files etc.). All dvd's I burned worked fine on a pc with power dvd.
Got the same result with another complete dvd-structure.
