RE: Problems Playing Copied DVDs on Wharfedale 750S

Thanks for the replies.

It seems that all fingers are pointing to the DVD player then!!!! I`ve tried using a few different burning software packages (including nero, as suggested) and still no joy. And I was just about to order some DVD+R disks to give them a try until phelings mentioned that they don`t work either (cheers - saved me some more wasted money!!).

So, looks like a new player then!!

Any more advice anyone can give that might save me from having to buy a new one would be appreciated.

Cheers

Problems Playing Copied DVDs on Wharfedale 750S

Hi there,

I`m a bit new to all this, so please bear with me if I`m a little ignorant, but I could do with some help with problems I`m having playing copied DVDs on my Wharfedale 750S.

I recently got myself a DVD writer (NEC ND-1300A OEM) for the computer and some UNBRANDED 4X RITEK DVD-R disks to burn onto. Having burned a couple of DVDs and tried playing them on my DVD player it just gives me a "bad disk" message and won`t play it.

Having checked by playing them on both my computer and my brothers Sony DVD player, there seems to be no problem with the disks as they work fine on both of them. So I assume that my DVD player does not like the disk. I have done a search for the Wharfedale 750S and it seems that some people have no problem playing copied DVDs, while some people can`t play them. I have heard that it doesn`t like disks that are only partially full, this is not the case here as both disks are very nearly full up.

So, where do you think the problem is? Is it the disk itself that the player doesn`t like(should I try using DVD+R disks, or maybe a different disk maufacturer), or is it that my player simply won`t play recorded DVDs? Obviously, I`m hoping that it`s the first option as I`m not too keen on having to buy a new DVD player!!!

Anyway, hopefully someone can help me, and I appreciate any advice you can give me.

Cheers
