Either you are using a type of DVD that is not recognized by your player (DVD+R vs. DVD-R - check the player's manual for the type it demands) or the burn was not finalized. If a burning app is told to allow for more burning at a later time, the session will be left open instead of finalized. If it's not finalized, the settop player will likely not be able to play it. Finally, no settop player that I know of can understand re-writable DVDs. So if the disk says DVD+RW or DVD-RW, it'll probably never work. Again, check the player's manual to see what type it demands. > christy > any clues what happened? Also I thnk I have lite scribe labeling. Has > anyone used this and do I need special dvd's for this ? Litescribe does require the use of litescribe disks. The back of the disks have a special coating that can be 'burned' with an image of your own design. It's a cool feature that I wish my own drive had. :) > christy > > thanks --------------------------------------------------------------- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
