DVD Playback: Has anyone else had problems playing back DVDs burned with this program?

Hmmm! You may want to contact the tech support before returning it. I know AV or security software may alter software installation and create problem of running software properly. You may want to uninstall and reinstall while A/V or internet security software is off.

I can't get this fixed either! I've had many 5.1 dvd players and this issue is new. Did anyone get fixed???

If the unit you got is good and it was installed correctly, then try burning dvds using the mp4 format and cds as regular audio or data cds. This works for me. If these do not work have the unit checked out

I use Imation dvd+ and dvd-, this player does play both formats, though would occasionally skip/slow up. Not sure if it is due to dirty discs or the dvd player itself. Good overall unit though.

I haven't had a problem playing rented Blu Ray discs or DVDs after installing the most current driver. I've heard that several people had issues, but I wonder if it was related to the driver.

Thank you Frolian. I've been trying to burn a DVD for a couple hours, and I didn't know until you shared. I have DVD+R DVDs. You're my hero!!

Sorry, can't help. We use the machine for DVD only and so far have not encountered this issue.

I am getting a similar problem using dvd + r discs. I used to be able to record onto these discs, but now suddenly I keep getting the message: "This disc cannot be played. please check the disc". It is now impossible for me to record and may as well junk this machine and buy a more reliab le unit.

We stand corrected by Robert Sax and desire to amend the answer to the above question. This unit does in fact play back audio discs as well as record.I have never used the play back feature , so my wife who replied to the question misunderstood my reply . SORRY

You probably won't like this answer. I could only get the player to work on one or two DVDs. I did lots of googling to try to find a fix. Nothing worked. I ended up just trashing it, since it was so cheap. Lesson learned. Find a used one at Goodwill or pay more for a decent unit. You gets what ya pay for.

not sure if it's still an issue, but you could try copying the dvds on your computer and playing the copies in your dvd player.

It did in the beginning and then it just quit playing them. I took it to the Geek Squad and they were unsuccessful in getting it to play DVD's again. Evidently, it has something to do with the Windows 8. They told me that I could buy a Video Media Center from Microsoft to resolve the problem but since they were not able to install a "Free" Video Media Center, I declined their offer.

Thank you, Paul! I have the disc and the "Quick Setup Guide", but don't seem able to play certain DVD's.

it depends on the OS (Operating System) you are using and the version of it, but a solid solution for any OS it's download and install VLC player, if this does not fix the problem, try the DVD+/-RW USB External Drive on another computer and see what happen.

I never had to do any of that with mine, thank goodness. I use DVD-R, I burned, I finalized, and they play in my Samsung and my Mac Mini's drive.I had something odd happen the other day, though; a DVD I ordered from Netflix wouldn't play, even after I cleaned it up, but same DVD would play in my computer's drive. It was a foreign film, but I wonder what it was about a commercial disc that would make the Samsung spit it out every time, telling me "please check the disc"? That's the only time that's happened! I wonder if by now it's time to clean the laser.

I had a similar problem with Amazon DVE-R 100 pile I bought.....Think it was just an abberation...but have been carefully buying only DVD+R ever since......also since found they worked as CDs...perhaps just abeled wrong.
