Sony DVP-NC600

[bigw25]

I have yet to make a DVD that will play on this. Every attempt has failed, all but one with the same results. Once I got a "the disk is dirty" error, every other time it sees the disk, illuminates the DVD light and then switches to the nest disk. I am using a Pioneer DVR-105 with the DVD-RW that was packaged with it and Memorex DVD-R's. I have tried a bunch of different software to write the disk. Many webpages say that the player is compatible with DVD-r's. Has anybody had any luck with this player and if so what software and media?

Well this link says that player will read DVD-R and DVD+R. You are putting all the DVD files in a "VIDEO_TS floder and then burning that folder? Also I assume you are closing or finalizing the DVD if not it will not work.

Yes putting all in Video_TS and Audio_TS, I am finalizing. I have even burned direct from ulead movie workshop 1.3 thinking maybe I wasn't putting the right folders on. All dvd's except the one that gave the dirty disk error do play in my KLH HA7000. I have tried Nero (dvd video, dvd udf 1.02, etc, etc, etc) nothing seems to work.

Looking at users comments on the player it seems it does have problems with DVD-R so take a look yourself.

I had read those before, realize that not all are getting the dvd-r's to play, but if anybody is, than it is possible. That said, I was hoping that somebody who had accomplished it could share the secret.

I seem to remember that if you record the DVD using "UDF" (I think that's right) it will play in most players. I believe this is an option with some burning programs like RecordNow Max.

Tried it in Nero, but I just got the new version so I will try it again.

[Bob W]

Why don't you experiment using a DVD-RW disc? That way you don't waste any media trying to figure out the problem.

[bigw25]

Other than one attempt with a dvd-r (to rule out the -rw disk as the cause) all have been on a dvd-rw.

Well you're one step ahead of me.

BTW if you're in the states BestBuy sells this cheap DVD player the Mintek model 1600 for around $50 that will play anything you throw at it including un-authored mpeg2, VCD, and SVCD. I bought three of them for family members so they could share my movies.

Well, I would do that except my electronics collection seems to keep growing and my wife complains that everytime she gets used to how things work, I change it. S I am hoping to get them to work on the Sony. If not, I guess I just watch the shows I record in my bedroom on the LKH.

I understand completely. My solution was to get rid of the wife but I'm not suggesting you do the same.
