DVD+R Discs

[wy685mm]

I've just burned a DVD+R but it won't play on either of my standalone DVD players, whereas exactly the same files burned onto a +RW disc play fine on both.

Firstly, why is this? If it is because the +R disc isn't recorded all the way to the edge or because it isn't finalised, how do I do this? Also, can I finalise a +R disc that has been written already, or do I have to specify certain settings before writing?

I'm using VOB Instant CD/DVD for burning as I had problems with Nero, and I'm using a Philips DVDRW228K burner.

If anyone can offer any advice it would be most welcome as I don't like the idea of wasting all my +R discs!!!

Just in case anyone has read this topic and is interested in an answer, I got it from another forum.

If you add to the disc you have already created using Instant CD/DVD by burning an extra file onto it, something like a readme file using Nero to finalize the disc, all is well.

Im having the exact same problem!
Please can you send me any other advise or responces you had.

I've burned +R Memorex on a Dell Precision Workstation at work with DVD Movie Factory. The +R disc plays on everything I’ve tried, even on older DVD players that can’t play SVCDs...
