DVD Player

[Guest]

I created a DVD using Easy media Creator, the DVD plays fine on 2 DVD players
but wont play on others, whether they are old or even brand new. Is there
something I am doing wrong

I have personally found that the media sometimes makes a
difference ... some players won't play a -R to save its life
but does very well with a +R.

Also, I don't know what it has to do with anything, but if I
write a DVD at a speed higher than 2x, most DVD players will
play the disc to a certain point and lock up. Newer players
will play for a longer period of time than older ones but
they all seem to lock up at some point.

Hopefully these ideas will help ... either by helping
directly or indirectly by eliminating these as possibilities.

Not all DVD players will read all DVD's

Depends a lot upon the Region Code

It is impossible to suggest a type or brand that will play on "ALL" DVD
Players as there is no such thing.
"Most" DVD Players will now play -R and +R with no problem but some will not
play one or the other and there's nothing we can do about that as far as
which ones to use.
