Page 1 of problem with mico dvd......dvdr disc??????

Hi

I need to know why my Mico dvd player will not play copied dvds which are playing ok on my computer.

please any help as my kids are desperate to watch some really good movies.


Thanks

Kiran

Main points being + or - R discs need to be finalised (write protected) before playing in a player, whereas + or - R dont.

The other is that the Mico doesnt like the media you are using, try the discs in another player (after you have finalised them) & see if that works.

Try a different brand for your next burning project.

Personally found Memorex give very little trouble all round (buying in packets of 5 for £5.99 at WHS expensive way of doing it perhaps, but it beats buying in bulk & then finding they wont burn\play).

Kiran,

I have a Mico Diamante player and find that Datawrite Yellow 4x DVD-Rs play back fine on it. They usually cost less than a tenner for a 25-disc spindle from SVP or Bigpockets.

If you only have a DVD+R compatible writer on your PC, any of the Datawrite or Arita plus format discs have worked fine for me in the past - they just tend to be a little more expensive.

Have you had any joy using DVD+RW or DVD-RW on your diamante?
Any info on brands of disks or burner you might have used would be gratefully recieved.
Cheers

My Mico reads +\- finilised disc`s, but will only write to +R(W) naturally.

I`ve found the Mico to be very `tolerant` of any disc I`ve asked it to record on-I`m sure ti would write to cardboard if I cut it to the right size!!!

This going to be a finalisation issue, I`d think.
