CDR VS. CDRW burning and playback

[Lioncourt]

I am relatively sure i'm doing something wrong in the burning process...though I can't imagine what it is. When burning a standard VCD (not an SVCD) using Roxio's VCD Creator, the CDRW copies always work perfectly...but CDR copies, regardless of what type of media I use...do not. I am finalizing the disc when finished, and have read through quite a lot of info on this site and others. My DVD player says that it does support CDR and CDRW formats. I have tried burning at 8X, 4X, and 2X...and nothing has made any difference...although I have discovered that Audio CD's do not play well in my computer's DVDRom drive if they are burnt at faster than 2X. I suppose I may resort to burning everything on CDRW...but that will be quite annoying. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you. Live long and prosper.

sounds like ur DVD player doesnt support CDRs, on CDRW, thats how mine is, its pretty annoying, but atleast this way if u make a coster its no big deal.

What kind of DVD player do you have?
Have you tried burning on CDR with another program?

hehe. i recommend using nero to burn vcds (and svcds).
i have zero problems with nero to date, been using it for over 2 years now.

i never did like the adaptec/roxio products such as ezcd. =P
