Playing standalone burned DVD+RWs on Computer

[tac7]

Is it common that DVD+RWs recorded on standalone DVD recorders won't play on computer DVD burners? I have tried a number of programs, and none recognize the discs, indicating that thay are Audio CDs. They do play ok on a couple of desktop DVD players I tried them on.

The DVR is a LiteOn 5005, so I'm not sure whether this is unique to discs recorded on that particular burner, or whether this applies to other brands as well.

You probably have the playback setting wrong under Windows. I just played a +RW Memorex burned with a Liteon 5001 using WinDVD.....

I use two ilo RHD04 units [made by LiteOn and the same] They are +R/RW machines
While I don't very often play on the PC I have not had any problems doing so with any Disks including commercial.

NO Offence, Can you play any DVD disk in the PC. Commercial or otherwise. The Bunner/Player may not accept DVD disks [it sounds as such]. Is it CD/DVD or CD only. Or your play program could be for CD Audio only. It sounds, from your posts that this is the first time that you have played such a disk on a PC

Are the disks burned from comercial disks. In Real Time using another DVD player

The LiteOn 5005 is a good unit Properly set up and hacked [older units] the disk should play

This was the first time I tried to play back a couple of recorded DVD+RWs on the computer. No idea why the computer programs indicated they were audio CDs - they played alright on desktop DVD players.
Now I tried once more recording something on the LiteOn, using a brand new DVD+RW disk, and this time it played back no problem. Maybe the other disks had gotten too old - they were used daily for time shifting. *At least it wasn't a LiteOn problem...

Using a Philips DVDR-75 (3yrs old) standalone to record on verbatim +RW.
Plays back on pc's with NEC 3540a, 3550a and I/O magic 1008, all with Winblows XP SP2.
Never had a problem with a pc not recognizing a recorded +RW recorded on the standalone.
Have had a few +R being seen as a CD though. Even after finalizing.
very confusing but I'll get over it

Sounds as you have solved the problem. Can I assume that the disk you burned would play on a stand alone and the PC.
Sometimes I sware at the recorder But after I think about it I pushed the wrong putton' Just today I was merging some programs and What My progran is gone *%#$@#()*&%^ ilo. Than I stopped. The program was there I just had the wrong prigram highlighted when I pushed the enter button and merged the wrong program. It worked out but was a pain.

PS

LCSHG:

It definitely turned out to be a disk problem, where the PC thought they were audio CDs, while the desktop players recognised them as being DVDs. Seems the new ones are ok now.
