    Question dvd burners?

    Can anyone recommend a dvd burner? I need one that will burn to a dvd that will play on a dvd player, not to my PC. I did have one, but it was outdated and the new update doesnt do the same things that the previous one did. ie..it will burn the disc but it wont play on my dvd player, as it did before! I am using Imtoo dvd burner. Are there other brands that will do what I want, please?

    Gill,

    It probably should play on your DVD player - even with the new version. It may need you to somehow 'close' the disk to let it work. If you can't see some options to try then I would ring their support line if that's possible.

    If not and you have done this update recently you could look at the restore points on your computer and maybe take it back to before the update was installed?

    A lot of software updates break things that are working fine, printer drivers seem the worst at that. I've often had a perfectly good printer killed by an update and I choose carefully now which ones to install. If it aint broke don't fix it sometimes applies..

    You'd think that all DVD recorders should create disks that play back on standard DVD players, including the recorder you already own.

    I use Nero 8 ( I got it free with something or other I bought ) and it works just fine.

    Gill,

    Good to hear that - glad the existing drive worked out and you saved some money.

    It should be wonderful in Somerset this week, with the hot sunny days starting from about now... well I hope so anyway, that is what we are seeing here in London.

    Steve
