Not a common DVD player so not much info about it.

Try DVD+R.

If you still must use DVD+RW, try to change Compatibility Bitsettings.

Congrats..

However standalone DVD players can be very picky with copied discs. Whereas most PC DVD drives seem to play anything you throw at 'em with no problems..

My Pioneer DV-515 often refuses to play my copied Intenso DVD+R discs stating "Disc Format Cannot Be Played", however if I leave it turned off for an hour then insert the copied DVD it plays fine.. go figure!

My advice.. try burning onto a DVD+R & see if that plays any better on your set top box, use branded DVD's like Verbatim and burn 'em at the slowest speed (x1) to ensure all is ok. Works for me...

hey jet,

if ur trying first in a +rw disc, try to read that bit setting page as sayd as response by other member, download the app and follow the steps

but if u dont wanna spend time in burning into +rw first and only after that burning finnaly into +r, try to preview it on ifo-edit or other PC capable player to see results,

considering to burning i personnaly thin that nero suxx for dvds, i use STOMP CD RECORD NOW, give it a try, is not that much priceless
