Reading Data DVD's

[Anthony]

Hey there, firstly thanks for looking! Here is my issue,
I recently got a DVD burner and burnt a back up of all my
documents onto a DVD as a Data DVD then took it to my
friends house to transfer some files on his comptuer - XP
would not read the disk saying "Windows can not read from
this disk. The disk might be corrupted, or it could be
using a format that is not compatible with Windows". So I
thought it might be his DVD Burner. Anyhow, he burnt me a
disk of some of his files that I needed, I brang home his
disk and put it in my drive and I got the same error
message. Both DVD's work on their native computers but
not each others? Why is this?

Go to the help section of your burner program and see what
the closing is set on. There many formats in DVD also,
they must be the same.

This from Direct CD, the same applies to DVD's

Close to UDF v.1.5 Select this option if you want
DirectCD to automatically close the CD to the UDF v.1.5
format when you click Eject. The CD can then be read on
most CD-ROM drives after installing a UDF Reader.

Close to Read on Any Computer Select this option if you
want DirectCD to automatically close the CD to the ISO
9660 standard when you click Eject. The CD can then be
read automatically in most standard CD-ROM drives under
Windows.
