I'm trying to burn some AVI files on a DVD.
I tried a DVD-R and a DVD+R using Nero 6.
In both cases the DVP5982/37 complained about "unknown disc".
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you

It sounds like you're doing everything right. You might try downloading the Divx Test CD ISO. See if that works. Use Nero's Buring ROM's Burn Image option.

Oh, and just to sure: start Nero Burning ROM directly. Don't use Nero's Start Smart or Nero Express. (Those may work properly but I always start with Nero Burning ROM directly). -

Maybe the disc brand is bad quality and your DVD player doesn't like it. Generally speaking Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden are the only consistently reliable high quality brands available now, although in Europe there is still some small chance that Sony and TDK might still be OK, depending on who made those discs for them. Try burning at a slower speed such as 4x. Many people burn questionable media at the highest speed possible and their problems are solved when they burn at much slower speeds.
Finally, note that many people burn AVI files that cannot be played on DVD players. If your AVI files have resolution greater than 720x576, they will never work. However, I would not expect those to cause an "unknown disc" error message. -
I think the Philips 5990 and 5992 support 13 character file names (extensions aren't shown). DVD ROM can vary from 8.3 to something much longer -- like 256 depending on the version of the ISO 9660, UDF, Joilette spec that is used. If you are only seeing 8 characters I would suspect the problem is in the way the DVD was burned.
There are mod firmwares for the 5990 (I think these work on the 5992 too -- but you should check, and beware, these are not supported by Philips) that support much longer file names. Something like 40 characters.

The OP was asking about the 5982, though. I'm not sure whether or not vb6rocod has modified any firmware for the 5982... and in a quick search of the VH forums, all I mainly found was another firmware modified by someone else.
If cameras add ten pounds, why would people want to eat them? -
