What the HECK? I just made ELEVEN coasters trying to figure this problem out! This makes NO SENSE! I have the Optorite DD0203 dual DVD±RW writer, and it burns on DVD+RW just FINE. I made about 11 projects and stored them all on DVD+RW disks for later use. It came to a time when I wanted to copy them all to DVD-R, so I tried it, and I can't get the drive to burn to the discs that were specified by the company as within drive standards. So I went and tried to burn onto some DVD+R disks that are also within the drive's standards. It STILL didn't work! I made ELEVEN coasters trying to figure out the problem. How is it that the drive can burn to DVD+RW with NO problem, but won't burn onto -R or +R??? If there is anyone that understands this, PLEASE HELP ME OUT! I don't have enough money to make so many coasters!

Right after I made the above post, just to be sure it wasn't my drive, I just burned an SVCD video disc, and it played fine in my computer and my stand alone DVD player. Then I made an audio disc, it worked fne. Then I burned another DVD movie (actually an .mpg file that was made DVD compliant, then authored onto DVD+RW with TMPGEnc DVD Author), and THAT plays fine in my computer AND stand alone DVD player. But when I try to burn anything onto DVD-R or +R and try to play it on my standalone, it doesn't work. And I KNOW that my DVD player can play +R and -R DVD discs, because I've played them in it before.

You did upgrade the firmware to the latest? Example: in my testing it wouldn't burn Fuji 4X before the firmware upgrade.
I upgraded to the latest firmware then I trial burned for testing on that model at work, Fuji 4X -R & TDK 4X +R with no problems.
You say disks within drive standards, However you didn't mention brand. I'd suspect that you are trying cheap disks.
Good Luck -

Hey Synergy, how do I make an ISO image of my disk? Please e-mail me and tell me how! I'm willing to try anything! summon_the_heroes@hotmail.com -

@ I am x ....I think your standalone may be the problem. I know you say you "KNOW" your standalone plays +R AND -R ...but the problem is that not every brand of -R and +R will be read alike. Different disks use different dyes and it could be that these -R and +R disks just aren't being read by your standalone player.
Have you tried to put these disks in your DVD ROM and see if it plays them? If it does, then your standalone is the culprit.
But two things i'd have to almost certainly shoot down would be your burner being defective or the media itself. If your burner is burning DVDRW media, then you shoudln't have any issues with R media.
Another thing is that the reason your standalone player seems to play your RW disk is because the dye is different on the RW then it is on the R format disks.
Do what the other poster said about writing and ISO with DVD DECRYPTER to another blank disk BUT ONLY AFTER you try these so called "COASTERS" in your DVD ROM....that way you don't just waste another blank disk for nothing. -

There's definitely something going during the burning processes of these DVD-Rs. I'm assuming it's finding a burning program that WORKS with this particular burner. As soon as I send this message, I'm going to try DVD Decrypter and see if it does the trick. I will post all results to the board. -

Either way...using DVD DECRYPTER to make an ISO isn't gonna help because all their gonna be doing is taking the same media off an RW and burning back on an R when they've already burned the same exact info to the R format in the first place.
They said the disks DON'T play in their standalones but they do play in their DVD ROM....but with a skip every 30 seconds or so. Their info makes no sense at all. If what they are saying is accurate, then there's no reason the disks won't play for 30 seconds and skip in their standalone too. It doesn't add up. Either way....good luck to them...they need it. -

Now you are saying that original authoring of a project and burn to the R format is fine. Which one is it? You specifically said you originally burned to +RW disks initially...now you are saying something different. You are saying that the disks burned to a -R are fine...but when you want to RECOPY them..your burner goes whacky. You are definitely confused.
Good Luck. -

another one of your problems i am x is that you burned an .mpg file to a blank DVD. You said you burned it as "dvd complaint" unfortunately, burning an .MPG to a DVDR/RW is NOT a complaint DVD.
That's another part of your problem...and probably why your DVD ROM does NOT auto play your RW. I bet if you open your drive and go to that big .mpg file and right click and play with power dvd...it will play.
You have several issues here and NONE of them have to do with your DVD BURNER as I said earlier.
@Vance, that thread discusses some problems with SVCD's which is a different issue then this poster is experiencing. Also, if you read that post fully, you'll see that others did have success with the SVCD's....and then people start taking it off topic and talking about file sizes being listed differently, etc....
This problem is different and the original poster made authoring errors as well as burning errors which is why they have the issues they have. It's not their burner. If it was, they wouldn't be able to play any media in their standalones or DVD ROMS. -
Dude get a refund get a sony and you will be happy ,you get what you pay for... 8)

maybe i gave a wrong link about that -
no
it starts at about the 8th posts and down
from reading that site
i wouldn't encourage using that burner -
@vance, could you copy and post all the quotes which show what you are saying. I just re-read that link and the only issues with reading a DVD are issues with a DVD ROM...not this Optodisk writer. And the other issues in that thread have nothing to do with the original posters problems.
Look at what I wrote. i_am_x is burning an .mpg file to a disk and thinking that it's DVD COMPLIANT. Read their first two posts and you'll see what i'm saying. Their problem has to do with authoring and burning,...it has nothing to do with their DVD WRITER. They could go out and get the SONY burners or Pioneer burners....continue to author the same way....and they will STILL have the same issues.
That's why their DVD ROM isn't autoplaying their RW disks. Because they are not a compliant format. If they right click on the .mpg file and play it with PowerDVD, it should be fine.
They aren't making complaint DVD'S.....for example... IFO, .BUP, VIDEO_TS AND VOB FILES. That's a big part of their problem..not their burner. -

From i am x's third post;
The movies are .mpgs that were made DVD compliant, then authored with TMPGEnc DVD Author, then I attempted to burn the finished product onto the blanks.
