Page 1 of panasonic dvd-r compatibility probs

Need some advice.

I just bought a Panasonic DMRE50EBS DVD-R machine

Great recordings on Datawrite blanks and Panasonic blanks.
Play back fine in the DMRE50EBS.

- but NONE of my recordings will play back on other machines I`ve tested.
The same brand blanks from friends recorders play back fine on each of my other machines.

The other players are: a Wharfdale, pioneer (5 year old model), and a panasonic portable machine - few years old, that plays almost anything you throw at it (including super videoCD with the new DMRE50EBS doesn`t seem to support).


Any ideas why MY recordings won`t play in these players?

Thanks!

you finalised the dvd-rs? i have no trouble playin my created dvds i have a hyundai/decca/panasonic/hitachi/scheider/dvd players also an xbox and 2 pc dvdroms they play em ok datawrites/tdk/discwrite/ ok older dvds such as the 5 year old one wont support dvdr i would of thought as it wasnt about(unless it was used comercially) .

the wharfdale unfortunatly won`t play discs made in either the panny or the phillips machines, don`t know about the pioneer though.

The Pioneer should play them! I have a DV656-A and that plays everything!

I sell Pioneer dvd players where I work and Pioneer boasts to play all formats. Mine plays both + & -

Definitely sounds like you need to finalise the discs.



If only everything was half price at Woolies !
