dvd playing problem....

[iceberg66]

Hope someone here can give me some advice....

I burnt a slideshow on a maxell DVD-R with music. It plays fine on the 2 dvd players I have but when I gave a copy to a friend it plays ok but no sound....they are using a toshiba sd-3900 . Anyone know if the toshiba can play -R's or should I use a +R DVD????

Thanks

It should be OK playing both formats. I'm afraid that I have no suggestions other than to check the cables are secure. Sorry!

strange thing is, the toshiba plays store bought dvds no problem...the dvd I made, video ok, but no sound...

Sony and Toshiba DVD Players are picky, especially the older ones. Maybe you could try a +R bitset to -ROM (can't do with all burners, though). Update your user profile so we know what you have for a burner, etc. PLEASE DON'T TELL US, JUST PUT IT IN YOUR PROFILE. Thanks

If it's a DVD with MP2 audio and you live in NTSC land then that could be the problem. It isn't NTSC-DVD spec but only picky players will reject it.

Thanks, I have to go buy a couple of +R and see if that will do the trick

Yes Zipper, I',m in NTSC land and was using mp3's with the slideshow....so this could be the problem????

I have a tried a +R with the same results. I even transfered a regular 8mm tape to dvdand the same thing happens..so mp3 isn't the issue

Had an idea....instead of recording the dvd with the audio format MPEG Audio and changed it to Dolby Digital do you think that will work???

Thanks

Yeah I would try converting to AC3 Audio.
