data in DVD+RW

[realas_LT]

burned some divx movies into dvd+rw (cursor) as data. but my standalone philiips dvd737 doesn't play it. menu with the files appears on TV, but disc doesn't play. after pushing "play" only appears track number and time 0:00:00. and that's all... is there some trouble in disc (cursor....) or smth else?

Hello,

Well that player doesn't show up in this websites database (https://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers).

Are you sure it plays divx??? If it does did you finalize the disc????

Also, you may want to see if the dvd player's firmware can be upgraded - check phillips website.

The other option would be to convert the divx to mpeg and author like a normal dvd....

YES, I'M SURE IT PLAYS DIVX (i'm not so stupid yet...)
and YES, Disc was FINALIZED
and YES, I UPGRADED MY PLAYER
and YES, I KNOW THAT I CAN convert into mpeg and burn like dvd
but i want to burn them like data not as dvd. thats why i'm looking for suggestions. but the problem is that smth wrong that player can't play such disc...

Might be some odd flavor of DivX - as you get a menu, the player at least can take a dir on the disc, which means that it can read (parts of) it. What does GSpot say about the non playing DivX?

Gspot says nothing odd. codecs etc are ok... nothing strange

yes... cursor is cursor. you can't make from **** nothing but ****... and that's truth again. everything's ok after burning divx as data into ACME DVD+RW (lithuania product). everything works perfectly. play, stop, forward, rewind etc.
philips dvd737 - i'm sorry, i want to apologize you

I burned lots of custom made divx (with Plextor M402U) on a DVD+RW media and I do not have a problem viewing the files. Mind you I have a Lite-on LVD-2001 that Philips. But my two cents are that DVD+RW medias are "OK". Now I can only assume that those files that have problems play fine on different media? If that is the case then try other media type.
