dvd will not work!

[nivag]

please can you offer any suggetions!!
i have captured from my camcorder using ulead 6 using firewire. converted from AVI to VOB using the wizard on Ulead. produced a lovely DVD-RW disc with menu. BUT although it plays nicely in my pc, my standalone dvd player just spins and then rudely spits the disk out!
the player is a Philips 756. does this mean it does not supprt DVD-RW but instead DVD+RW? am i missing something that i need to do? is it the software or the player?
any advice would be much appreciated. :P

Looking at the DVD players compatability list, that player does not play DVD-R, DVD-RW is unconfirmed, but perhaps you just confirmed it.

thanks Craig

when i tried to search for my standalone player on the compatibility list it would not come up but using your link i got straight in

but sadly, it seems i need a new dvd player that supports dvd-rw!

thanks for your reply.
p.s any suggetions on a good model

[Craig Tucker]

Well I don't know where you are, but in the UK the alba DVD114 from argos is an excellent choice. Plays just about everything and is only £69.95. If you are interested search the forum for my posts on the DVD114.

thanks very much Craig

i have looked at the reviews and it looks like i a will be at Argos this sarurday! They are advertising a different model but i presume they are actually handing out the 114 model.

thanks again

:P :P :P :P

Yes, in the catalogue they list the 108, but many stores are stocking the 114 as a replacement. This is a better player so make sure you get a 114

If your going to Argos you also have the latest Bush 2024 which plays DVD-R MP3's and CD-R, However, a little bit more money at £89.00.......''

How about VCD, SVCD and multiregion. (which the abla plays)

[kathleenbilly]

True, the bush does not play VCD SVCD but does enjoy playing DVD-R with ease clearly it depends on the direction your heading, but point taken.

Craig, went down, got the player & works great i am well happy!

thanks again for replying and sorting my problem out. now i can make dvd-rw of my newborn son and know they will last for a very long time!

thanks again.

also Kathleen, i appreciate your response, thanks for the post.

VERY HAPPY!
take care both of you

Nivag, try not to be tempted by the cheap media on offer, you will only have problems, l would suggest you try to use Verbatim Datalifeplus at £2.59 each l know it's pricey but at least they will play true to the end.
