It could be a bad blank DVD, a bad burn, or a problem with your DVD player. Some DVD players have trouble with "burned" DVDs. Some have trouble with DVD+R and some have trouble with DVD-R, etc. (Your odds are best with DVD-R.)

Have you tried it on more than one player? Does it play OK on the computer?

You may have a bad batch of blank DVDs or your burner may not "like" the particular brand you used.

Try burning at a lower speed (i.e. 4X)

Nero CD-DVD Speed (FREE!!!) can usually tell you if there is a physical problem with the DVD. (A bad blank, a bad burn, a scratch, etc.)

Sorry if you this sounds like I am telling you off - I am not.
You can alter the title by using the

The purpose of providing a meaningful title is this.
There are a number of members on the forum who try and help troubleshoot problems - myself included. In the early days of the user forum it was not too difficult to be able to read all of the posts submitted since the last time I (or one of the other troubleshooters) had logged on.

On the Forum Home page at the top right is a link
view posts since last visit In the forums early days this would perhaps range between 10-30 posts. Today however the board has grown in popularity and more products are now catered for including the former Intervideo products before the merger with Ulead.

There have been days when I have logged on to find over 70 new posts since my last visit. It is of course impossible to read each and every one of them and so it is necessary to look at the titles to pick out posts where I feel I am able to offer some worthwhile input.

if you are viewing perhaps the VideoStudio forum and a post is entitled
"VideoStudio" - it doesn't really give you a clue, similarly in the PhotoImpact forum a post entitled [PhotoImpact] is equally as meaningless.

Giving a post a suitable title is a means of helping us to help you.

Thanks very much for all your advice it's appreciated.

I have been using DVD+R disks on a Sony Vaio VGC-M1, I am going to try a DVD-R disk and see if that works.

Thanks again.
