error with DVD+R

[callatis]

Hi,
I got my HP DVD200xi, I did my first production on DVD+RW using Sonic MyDVD. I was able to play it on my Pioneer DV 333. I tried burning the same movie on a DVD+R, using the same project from Sonic MyDVD and my player didn't want to read the disk at all. It just ejected it right away.
Same thing happened with a blank DVD+R.
I tried the same written DVD+R on a Pioneer 353 and the player said "I cannot play this disk".
I did not apply the patch for DVD+R media, patched supplied by Sonic.
Did any one have the same problem? I need an input from you guys before trying another blank disk.

I seem to remember having a similar problem with sonics dvdit. The easy solution wasd to burn to dvd+RW, test it, and if ok use nero (or something else) to copy the +rw to a +r disk (save times authoring twice anyway and allows you to test it without using a +r disk)

I was ready to do that and I don’t why I changed my mind and I left Sonic MyDVD to author again the same movie on DVD+R.
As I said, this happened without the patch provided be Sonic to correct DVD+R problems.
As in Canada a blank DVD+R is 10CDN$, I guess next time I won’t take any chance and I’ll author my movie using MyDVD and then copy the Video_TS folder to a DVD+R.
You mentioned copying the DVD+RW to a DVD+R. Is it any other way beside copying the Video_TS folder?

To russwcj:

I followed your advice and by copying the VIDEO_TS folder with Nero 5.5.9 I could obtain a reliable DVD+R with the same video production.

Nero has a "dvd copy" option.
