I made an .iso with AVS to DVD and burned it to a DVD-R with imgready. Imgready says that the operation was successful, but my DVD player is telling me "this disc cannot be played, please check the disc"

I don't know anything about imgready but possibly you burnt the disk as an 'archive' thus all you have on this disk is the .iso file or whatever suffix that program uses.
You would have to burn the disk to re-create the original dvd folder(s) and files.
And, as has been stated, use imgburn to burn the iso to disk. If it recognises the file as a valid iso then it will automatically recreate the folders/files during the burn. -
Actually, Imgburn is what I meant to say, I said Imgready by mistake. The discs are Maxell discs which I've been using for years with no problems. I burned it with this model of external DVD drive that is hooked up to my laptop with a USB cable
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00C2AMK2M/ref=oh_aui_i_d_old_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 was I supposed to install the drive first or something? -
Well if you read the comments on the Amazon page you would have read that you MUST install the supplied software (possibly a driver)
Imgburn would normally report if it did not see the burner/disk so this may not be the issue.
The unit is rated at 8x. And, again, to repeat what has been said, I would never burn a disk at full speed even if your blanks allow for that.
As for Maxell, just because you have not had any issues in the past it does not mean that new batches would be the same as older ones.
But do install that software first. -
Is a software DVD player on your computer able to play the burned DVD using the same drive that you used to burn it?

I know that I coded am NTSC disc. And when I put it back into my computer it treats it like a blank disc.

Then make sure your burner has the drivers properly installed and that it is actually working. If you have some rewritables,
you can test with those -
Mount the DVD ISO file with something like DVDFab Virtual Drive. Make sure it plays with a software DVD player. If the ISO plays OK, the problem is probably your external drive, or a combination of the external drive and media.
For what it is worth, it seems like more problems are reported with USB DVD drives than internal drives, especially for burning DVDs. There can be difficulties with both data transfer and insufficient power for burning media.Ignore list: hello_hello, tried, TechLord, Snoopy329 -
Ok, I installed that virtual driver and tried again, and everything seemed to be working, but then it told me "all attempt close the drive have failed" and the log has been stuck on "waiting for the device to become ready" with a yellow triangle with an exclamation point
-
After installing DVDFab Virtual Drive, open the directory containing the ISO and right click on the ISO file. Click on "Mount to Z: I:MyDVD.ISO" or something similar. There is also an "Unmount" below it to use when you are finished testing the ISO. Once the ISO is mounted, you'll be able to play it as if it were a physical DVD.
I don't know what caused this outcome. It never happened to me. I guess you should uninstall DVDFab Virtual Drive because, for one reason or another, it is not working for you.Ignore list: hello_hello, tried, TechLord, Snoopy329 -
I already figured everything out - the only problems now are that the fast forward/rewind and chapter skip buttons won't work when I play this disc on my Samsung DVD player
-
your original problem reported in this thread was this
"this disc cannot be played, please check the disc"
What did you do to fix it ? -
-
Doesn't make a lot of sense. The Virtual drive is optional, it's purpose is to allow an iso to be "mounted" and assign it
a drive letter so that it can be opened or played as if it were a real optical drive.
Windows 8.x and 10 have this built in, right cloick the iso and select "mount" -
no need for third party software -
Total tripe.
You stated that your dvd player could not play the disk. DVD drives do not use a virtual driver. That is only for the PC domain and even then a properly created/burnt disk should play in a software player such as vlc without the need for a virtual driver.
What has changed since then ? -
The only thing that's changed is that I installed DVDfab Virtual Drive
-
But a virtual drive is for playback. makes no difference to burning. Unless, as I already inferred you burnt the iso as a file rather than let imgburn recreate the original structure.
You simply do not need a virtual drive for proper dvd folders.
Do us all a favour and upload the directory structure of the disk you burnt. -
On my setup at least, I tell avs2dvd to do a DVD folder instead of iso, then I let imgburn take it and make the correct disc. On Dual layer discs it prompts me to pick layer break etc and haven't had issues. When I let avs2dvd do a iso I had a few times the resulting disc didn't play. Wasn't a recurring issue so didn't report.
if all else fails read the manual -
