Burnt home movie to DVD-RW and DVD+R using PC, neither of which are readable in home Toshiba SD-3750 player. I now see that the player's manual lists only DVD-R as 'playable'. OK, so at least the -RW should work, right ?? Similar footage burnt onto similar DVD-RW disc using Mac G4 laptop plays just fine on said Toshiba. The footage is in MPEG format on hard-drive prior to burn. What is the G4 doing differently than PC ?? The footage I'm trying to burn was analog coming from a camcorder, and transferred to PC using KWORLD DVD Maker USB2.0. Seems to me I might need to get footage into different format before burning from PC. Oh yeah, using Roxio Easy DVD Creator 6.
You're a genius if you can get me outta this jam. Thanks in advance for your accurate feedback.

Did you Close or Finalize the DVD?
Close and Finalize are the same thing... different burn programs use different terminology.
If the DVD plays on your computer but not in a home player most likely it isn't finalized.
After you close of finalize a disk you can no longer add anything to it.

You must Finalize the DVD to play on any player.

Did you "finalize" the disk? It may not play until it's finalized.
