Did the GQ, cheap media thing for a while: got skipping, et.. Learned my mistake there.
Just bought Fujifilm media that DVDinfo says is made by Yuden in Japan. SO, the media is good.
Burned 3 discs and EACH ONE will not play in the Toshiba DVD player. Instead it tries to read for a while, then kicks it out saying "Disc Error". Why the Toshiba would play the crap media and not the Fuji?
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![]()

Is the media + or -? Is your DVD player compatible with that format? You can find this out by looking it up in the "DVD Players" section over the left-hand side of your page.

If you use +R with Toshiba DVD players it MUST have DVD-ROM booktype...same for Panasonic,Pioneer and JVC.

My older JVC 510BK does not require DVD-ROM booktype...plays + and - too.

I don't know what a booktype is, sorry.
The Toshiba SD-K625 has played the GQ DVD+R just fine (minus the skips), but can't read the Fujifilm. According to the DVD player information on the left for this player, Fuji should be OK.
I spent another $30 on media, here, expecting easy burns, finally. What do I do to get good, cross-platform media that works?????!!! -
Take a disc that doesn't work in your player to a local BestBuy and try it on their players. If it plays then you have a player problem so buy another one they are cheap.

The player is a good player. It has played all of my DVD+Rs so far. Now it won't play the "Good Media".
I shouldn't have to spend a lot of money attempting every kind of media to find one that burns well (no skipping), but will play on different DVD payers.
I haven't changed anything, except the media. Why would a player play cheap, unreliable media and not the good stuff? -

sounds like your player isnt really up for +r media.
did you try the -r.
my LG dvd player will play +R,but not without skips,no matter what brand i use.but -R plays flawlessly,every time.
and as for ,you shouldnt have to spend loads,to get it to work,then you should have bought maybe one or two tester discs from a retailer,or at least got a single disc to try,many shops sell disc test packs,containing a selection of brands,and types.
this way your not wasting money. -
OK - updated my firmware. It now that the 8x media can only burn at 6.1x. ?
I guess I'll try some DVD-R. Why would other DVD+R work and not this stuff? -
Don't use DVD+R media. Most DVD players, especially older ones, have trouble playing it, or won't play it at all. Use DVD-R, made in Japan media, and burn at 4x max.

I bought some DVD-R media this evening: Fujifilm and Maxell. The Toshiba player plays, but skips around like crazy. I guess it could be the player, but I'm still confused why it would like the GQ, cheap stuff and not the expensive. Oh, well. Thanks for the help, anyway.

Moviegeek - I started researching about "BookType". I'll try anything.
How do I change the BookType? Do I need Nero?
What I have is: Roxio and DVD Decrypter. I also downloaded DVD Bitsetter, but I can't figure out how to use it correctly, sorry.
