I created and burned a very successful DVD and could play the CD-R on either my computer or the TV.

Now, I want to make another copy.  I made one from the image file, but it will only play on my computer.  Does anyone know what went wrong?  Should I just make a copy of the DVD I already have and forget trying to make it from the image file?

How did you go about making the image file and the DVD? What program did you use from the suite? Did you burn the "good" DVD from the image file? What happens if you play the failed DVD on a DVD player? If it plays on your computer then there was nothing wrong with the burn.

BTW, I am sure you mean DVD-R and not CD-R in your first line.
