Hello Guys, I do hope you can help me with this problem, I have recently recorded a movie on the TV, it played in my DVD recorder perfectly OK, But it not playing on my CD ram it is not Recognising the DVD, how can I fixed this problem

Thank you

CD players don't play DVDs. They share the same shape, that's it. You need a DVD player in your units that play DVDs of the SAME FORMAT your DVD-recorder encodes disks in. There are many formats.

Tony,
You need to "finalize" the DVD on your recorder before it can be recognized and played on a different player. Just pop the DVD back into your recorder and go through the menus looking for "finalize disc" or something similar.

Best of luck,
WallyH

Oh, I didn't notice you said CD player! If that is true, then JBeaucaire nailed it. However, if you really do have a DVD player on your computer, then finalizing it should take care of it.

Sorry my mistake it not a CD ram it is a DVD ram with RW on laptop and desk top,

Thank you for your help WallyHelps, Finalized it work thanks a lot

What format are you recording DVDs in? Your DVD player does read that format, right?

Are you burning in a TV capture DVD-recorder, or are you burning on one computer and trying to read on another.

Again, this is probably a "format" issue. And DVD-RW is another one of those weird options. There are a LOT of formats and you will need to read the manuals on BOTH devices to make sure they are compatible in some format, then use THAT format.
