Why do most of these dvd's not work?

I use these to record TV programs and I have only had a hand full not work. If you are using a DVD recorder like me it might be the recorder that doesnot work with these DVD. I bought a pack of Sony DVD+R and out of 10 only 1 worked. I bought these Amazon and TDK and have had very little trouble.

I haven't had any not work, yet. I've used maybe a dozen so far. I only burned at 6x so far, don't know if at some faster burn speeds, you may have issues?

I use these all the time and I don't have any problems with them. It might be your burn speed is set to high.

I have not had any problems with them at all. Most of the problems that I have are with the program that you are using to burn with. Windows is not good for burning for me. There are faster & easier programs to use if you just search, of course, it's a tedious task. For under 2 hours I use a program called Converter Lite, but have not had really good luck with the programs above 2 hours. Sometimes, this program will go above 2 hours but not very often.....

i have used them all of the time but sometimes the movie that you are recording is longer than two hours and it will not fit on the disc

I have used almost 300 of these disks and only had one which I had a problem with, and that was not the fault of the dvd but the fault of the program I was using to format a avi into dvd and burn at the same time. Almost every time I've had a problem with any dvd it has worked out that it was a software problem. That said, also you want to clean your dvd burner as new dvd's tend to be very dirty, so clean your drive every 20 or so disks, made a big difference for me

JV - Thanks a lot! I could not figure out why my dvds wouldn't play on other dvd players. There is nothing to clue you in that you need to finalize them.

Sharp tells me that they have problems with Warner Bros discs and are working on new firmware to fix the problem. A Warner Bros marketing person in LA sent me a Harry Potter Blu-Ray to test, and it too was rejected as incompatible. The player handles old DVDs and those I make myself. But then we have you and others who've posted and tell me that Planet Earth is fine on their Aquos player. So maybe the problem is the unit. I'll eventually find out and let everyone know.

In addition to commercial DVDs I have only tried dvd-r which it plays OK. Those are movies copied on my Mac.

It could be your disc drive. Does it reconize other dvds? Or your disc drive is a dvd player but not a burner? If none of those are correct i d check software program your using to burn.

Also does anyone have any problems with playing DVD-Rs???? Mine doesnt seem to play them which is also very annoying

Try another DVD brand or two. Sounds like your disc drive is having mechanical difficulties. Probably not specific to these Taiyo Yuden discs.

Yes, I have not had any problems with any of the DVDs working and I use a U.S. DVD player.

I had owned an older model off the Xbox 360 that did but this one is saying I need some other program. I do know that they do play dvd's I'm just not sure exactly why this one doesn't.

well aliah, when i purchased two like this, they only worked only once with different cd's, but didn't work with none of my movies. so the best thing i can say is purchase it, try it, and if don't work send it back. keep packaging for if you have to return for a refund.

I have the same experience as you. the manual clearly states that it will not play DVD+R or DVD+RW, but I have had no problem playing either.

I hope this problem has been solved because it is not just Bluray discs. It happens with regular DVDs too. Very annoying.

I had a DVD that did not work. I contacted the seller and they sent a DVD immediately. I also mentioned that I haven't watched two of the DVDs and they sent replacements for those. It's a good thing they did the latter even if I didn't request replacements for them. One of the DVDs that I didn't watch also did not work but the replacement did.

Yup....it seems there are problems. My player just stopped playing DVD video discs (ie any non-bluray disc). UGH...very frustrating. I must admit that up until now I've been very pleased with the player. All I can figure is that its one of the latest firmware upgrades. Back to the factory...

No. Mine works fine in terms of the audio. Can it be the dvd you're playing?

You might want to check their website for the latest drivers. The one on the disc is usually not the newest.
