Copying and playing dvds

[FLIER]

The first time i copied a dvd it played no bother in a standalone dvd player/connected to the tv. However, I have tried to copy another 2 (different) dvds and they won't play, but they DO play on my pc.
Does anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong?

You might want to say "made a back-up" instead of copied IYSWIM
I've had similar probs but can't remember what the reason was something to do with the file type I think.
Hope someone a lot more helpful comes along.

is every thing the same? - disks format for the back up etc?

Yes thanks Ivor, just to clarify that, of course this was a back up of my dvd.

do you mean dvd+, dvdR etc etc? if so then i believe so, yes.

no as in are the disks by the same company, cos apparently some disks just don't work (according to DH)

softwear/settings the same apparently the DVD's you're backing up can cause the probs - are they dual/single layer? single are 4GB dual are 9 apparently??

(all according to DH)

in that case, yes everything is the same . I used to be so good at this type of thing, but now I'm hopeless, must be getting old

no other ideas from him and it's dutch to me one comp nerd's enough for this house!

thanks for your help, munz
