Will recordable dvd's (that have content on them obviously) play in normal dvd players...???

or just in the original dvd recorder????? I thought that they would play in normal dvd players, but I've tried all of them in my house (Including my laptop which is were I really want to play the dvds) and none of them will play the dvd!! Any ideas why not anyone???!!

well, dvd's have to formats - and + some dvd's support - and some + but i have heard that latest players are supporting both... so make sure the format of your dvd disc is compatible with your player some not others it may be the dvd type It depends. My dual layer DVDs that I record on my desktop won't play on my home DVD entertainment player. I can watch it on another computer, but not on my player for my TV.

You also need to be sure the DVD is "finalized" in order to play it. I have some DVDs that I recorded that were not finalized. I can only watch them on my home entertainment player and not on another player (either entertainment or computer) until it is finalized. normal recordabvle dvd should play

incase it is dual layered or double sided

sometimes it may not take

or check wheter the data is written correctly on to ur cd

ur burning might have been a problem

sometimes only name is written on cd

and shows full file size

but data might have failed to be written on cd Record-once (non rewriteable) DVDs such as DVD+R or DVD-R will play in all late-model regular DVD players. Many players will also play back DVD+RW or DVD-RW (reusable discs) but there is much more likelihood of problems, so if you want the best results do not use -RW or +RW type media. There is always a possibility of a particular disc not playing well, because of damaged or defective media; that may not affect the playback of the disc on the recorder, but "weaker" DVD players may have a problem. Fortunately that doesn't happen very often.
