Hm, Could be the DVD player.
It might not have the right format for the dvd you want to watch.

It happened to me before and i switched dvd players.
I have found that cheap DVD players pretty much play anything and expensive ones only play certain types of movies.

I hope this helps.

I believe there is something called ‘closing’ the DVD - it writes the menu and makes it no longer eraseable. You have to do that before regualr DVD players will play it. I think

you’re definitely in the wrong place to ask for tech stuff.
But luckily I just happened to surf by.

1st, check what kind of dvd’s you have.
Are they DVD+R or DVD-R?
There is a difference in technologies.
Whichever one you have seems to not work on your dvd player because it might be older.

A solution to the problem is to buy blank DVD’s that are the opposite of what you tried (so if you got + get - or vice versa) and try to play it then.

What he said. Some dvd-players only support one. And not all can read RW (rewritable) either. Also, make sure you don’t burn the dvd at too fast a speed to reduce chance of corruption/skipping. 4x is safe.
