thanks G, will look to see if I can find it, it is my moms and older player. The DVD's are DVD+R. When I put the DVD in my computer it played. Seemed like my transition at the end of the movie was left out though. I need to upgrade and buy a newer vid editing program soon I think also. Got too many projects and too much at work not and school ;0..I am teaching myself how to use the Sibelius music notation program in spare time. christy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gman" <gman.pctt@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, June 14, 2009 12:09 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: dvd burner > See below. > > Peace, > Gman > > http://www.thevenusproject.com/index.php > > "The only dumb questions are the ones we fail to ask" > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Christy" <poppy0206@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Saturday, June 13, 2009 10:44 PM > Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- dvd burner > > >>I thought that I had burned a DVD that would show on a tv/dvd player and >>it >> did not work.
