So far i've burned 2 data dvd's using nero and neither are readable by my regular dvd-rom drive(pioneer dvd-120) but they read fine in the burner(optorite ddo405). I'm using 4x memorex dvd-r disks. The first disk I burned at 4x and the second I one at 2x, no difference. I also have a HP laptop with Teac dvd/cdrw drive and it cant read them either. Is there something i'm doing wrong or a setting that I may have missed? The dvd's have avi's on them if that makes a difference.

Does your burner support +r's? That is what I use for dvd video and data disks, and I have never had one issue with a disk that could not be read in various dvd-roms, players, and even PS2s. I use nero to burn data discs and sometimes for video disks. When you are burning the disk do you turn off multiple sessions? If not I would give that a try. I do not know if this will help at all, but maybe try using a +r if your burner supports it.

I haven't tried any other brands. I bought this 25-pack thinking it was the best choice because they are -R's and I thought those were the most compatible kind and Ive burned several hundred Memorex CD-R's and never made a coaster. Ive made 3 DVD-Video disks that play perfectly in every drive and player I tried them in. I did turn off multisessions for both disks. I'll see if I can get my hands on a +R disk and try it and maybe a different brand. My dvd burner supports 8xDVD+R, 8xDVD-R, 4xDVD+RW, and 4xDVD-RW.

I have recently bought the plextor px-712A and i had the same problem.I used princo dvd-r which are even on plextor's official compatible list.But what ever i made was readable only by plextor.I updated the firmware and the drive would not even read the disks anymore.After writing to plextor i used other disk-in this case TDK.it worked fine.The drive is just very selective with dvd-r.With dvd+r it has no problems.My problem now is to find some cheap dvd-r that work cause princos cost 0,6 euros and TDK 2 euro.Quite a difference if you burn like 4-5 a week

same problem with 2 burners

I have a plextor px-712A (DVD RW)and a lite-on LTR-52327S CD RW.
The plextor will read and burn to +rw, will not read anything else including dvds. Using Roxio drag-to-disk, it will burn cd-R, dvd-R, but won't read after the burn. says I have an I/O device error (computer reports no conflicts, no problems.)

The Lite-On won't read anything but memorex.
I've updated drivers, firmware and anything else I can think of.

Anyone have any ideas of suggestions besides ripping them out of my computer and pitching them out the nearest window?
I would appreciate any and all ideas, suggestions.
