newbie can’t seem to burn DVD

[Mark Dance]

David…..it was the problem….DVD player wouldn’t read DVD+R…..maybe my player is older than I thought…!! well, at least if another newbie comes in with the same issue I know the first question I will ask them…”Is your DVD format compatible with your DVD player?” LOL, Thanks for taking the time to respond…maybe we all learned a little something today…Mark dance

[Mark Dance] “DVD player wouldn’t read DVD+R”

Honestly, I’ve never bought or tried to burn a single DVD+R in my life, and I’ve probably made about 75,000 DVDs. Certainly can tell you that DVD-R is what most people use.

Yes….frankly I don’t know the difference between DVD+R and DVD-R..one thing I DO know is what works and what doesn’t…!! Mark

Not just 15 ways. But a work flow that will give you very decent quality standard def DVDs from your timeline. Worth learning. Macs used to not be able to burn +R DVDs. PCs used them, so I’m surprised a consumer player can’t read them.
