DVD-RW created by JVC DR-M10 won't play automatically?

[broadway]

I just noticed this today.

I usually don't play back the DVD-RWs that are created by the JVC when I capture video to them because I take them to my PC and re-author with nice menus and burn to DVD-R.

To play the DVD-RW, I have to push the PLAY button.

Is this right?

or did I inadvertently change some setting on the JVC.

The thing is when I put the DVD-RW in my PC's dvd drive, PowerDVD will start playing it automatically.

Mine works the same way, Its not a problem to me. At least it plays! I have two Panasonic dvd recorders that create disks that don't play on most players due to their sytle of authoring.

Remember if it plays with no problem then consider it a success.

One last point, I own a JVC dvd player and it doesn't play automatically on that one either.

whew! glad to read that.

have you yet encountered the other problem I had?

I had a brand new Fuji DVD-RW that I wrote to once or twice. I set it aside. Today, I tried playing it in both the JVC and my LG drive, and both couldn't read it. The JVC said the disc was "unreadable".

any ideas what happened?

I mean 1 out of 5 DVD-RW going bad is not a good ratio.

I personally haven't experienced that situaton but if the others play with no problems then I wouldn't worry. Due to the fact the other 4 are working tells me nothing is wrong with the JVC.

You could try formating that disk using your computer if it has a dvd writer, this is known to remedy those sort of problems.

my dvd writer shipped with B's Recorder Gold, and I can't figure out how to use it to format a dvd-rw. It has erase....

I think that this might be the standard way the -RW writers do it. In my Pioneer, I have to press "Play" to play, or "Menu" to see the thumbnails. Personally, I think that is kind of silly, it should just come up to the menu like my LiteOn does it.

It would be nice...
