Help when using DVD-RWs recorded on PC on a Tosh RDXS32

Hi I have a RDXS32 & a Plextor PX-708A DVD recorder on my PC.

I have just compiled a DVD Slide show using ULEAD DVD & CD Picture Show 3 on my PC and burnt it to a TDK DVD-RW. The DVD-RW failed on the Tosh even though I had originally formatted it on the XS32. So I tried it on another disk and it failed as well.

I can burn DVD-Rs on my PC without a problem that read on both the Tosh and and old Bush DVD player - but not the '-RWs.

The TDK DVD-RWs burn on the Tosh and playback no problem!

Has anyone else suffered similar problems? Has anyone got a solution, ideas a work around or any help?

Thanks for reading.

 

Hi

Correct me if I'm wrong but if you format a DVD-RW on a PC it could render the DVD-RW unusable of some DVD recorders. I have found this to be the case with Sony recorders but as I don't have a Toshiba I can't say for definate.

A PC formats a DVD-RW using a different format to a DVD recorder i.e. the set top recorder uses VR format.

This could be the cause of your problem!

Anyone else care to comment?

 

Hi
Thanks for the thought but as I said in the original the dvd-rw was formatted on the Tosh. XS32.
I have wondered if the burn speed on the PC could effect the readability on the Tosh.
Does anyone have the technical knowledge to say whether this could be a factor?
Thanks for reading.
