"Copy disc" won't play in standalone player

Post by kurt »

I copied the contents of a +RW disc to my hard drive, then used the "Copy disc" function in MF to copy the contents to a +R dvd.

This plays great on my computer, but not in a standalone player.

How can I finalize this disc so it will play in my standalone player?

Thanks,
Kurt

Did you copy it as a DATA disc (incorrect) or as a VideoDVD (correct)

I used the "Copy/Fit Disc" function in MF. It says this is to "Copy directly from a disc or a DVD-Video folder to a disc." And in the "Source" drop-down, I chose "Browse for a DVD-Video folder...", and I can only choose VIDEO_TS folders. I believe this is correct for VideoDVD copy.

I guess I could import the DVD-Video from the dvd into MF, and "burn" a dvd that way (I've done this successfully many times, and these do play in my standalone player), but I have about 20 dvd's that I've "copied", and I'm hoping to not have to just throw them away.
