Go Video VR3840 Combo DVD Recorder and Hi-Fi VCR
Problems Playing burned DVDs in other players.
I just purchased this unit at Costco last week (on sale for $189 with coupon). It is very easy to use and the quality seems top notch. The playback on this DVD is great. <br /> <br />I have a problem with one of the DVDs we created from several older VHS tapes. This burned DVD (R+) was formatted for 4 hours and has 7 titles, each with multiple chapters. My other two DVD players and computer will only play two of the seven titles and you cannot forward to the other chapters within the two titles that play. I had the DVD set to the default to create chapters every 5 minutes for each title. We then combined the chapters (since we cannot delete them) and made our own chapters for each title at logical breaking points. <br /> <br />My theory is that other players cannot \\"translate\\" or \\"get through\\" the titles that we combined chapters with along with making our own chapters. The two titles that play in other players had only one chapter, or we did not do that much combining. I turned off the automatic chapter making setting and I burned a DVD last night with one title and no chapters and it plays fine in all players. <br /> <br />My test for this weekend is to burn this DVD again, and make my own chapters to see if other players can play the burned DVD. Then, I will try again with multiple titles and chapters. <br /> <br />I will report back with the results. In the meantime, if you have similar problems, turn off the automatic chapter creation and / or do not combine chapters. Other DVD players may not know how to read that title effectively if you do. I will let you know when I burn more. <br />
