Copy DVD-R to DVD+R ? Player won't play -R discs.

[Moonstomp]

I have a movie on a DVD-R which will play on my PC but which won't play on my standalone. My standalone only plays DVD+R (Wharfdale DVD750).

Here's my question.

If I copy the DVD-R to the PC (with Decrypter) and then burn to a blank DVD+R, should it play on my standalone ??

Many thanks,

Moonstomp.

There's no need to rip it with DVD Decryptor since it's already been decrypted. Just do either of the following:

1) Open up the source dvd and drag the VIDEO_TS folder onto your HD. Then burn the contents onto a DVD+R using your usual method. OR...

2) Use the disc copy function that most burning programs have.

If your standalone plainly states that it will play DVD+R, and won't play DVD-R's, then logic dictates that you'll have a higher probability of success once you move the flick over to a DVD+R. The data will not change. Only the way in which it is burnt onto the disc will change. Good luck.

Bodene,

Thanks for the reply

I'll try that out (fingers crossed !)

Thanks Bodene !!

Copying the VIDEO_TS to the HD and burning to DVD+R with Nero did the trick.
