Can't Play Copied Disc On Vcr

[Viero]

Using Roxio Creator & MyDVD 9. I can copy a DVD+R and then play it on the computer, but the new disc will not play on a VCR. I am forgeting something because I did it successfully about a year ago. Any thoughts?

Do you actually have a DVD recorder? You can't play a DVD in a VCR.

 

I think the OP is talking about a VCR-DVD combo unit otherwise nothing of what he posted makes any sense. As usual, by using incorrect terms the OP has created confusion:rolleyes:

It is a VCR/DVD.

 

It is a VCR/DVD and plays both tapes and discs.

1) Are you using good quality discs? Which ones (brand)?

2) Can you play the original?

3) How are you copying them - what application?

4) Will your player play a DVD+R (Owners manual)? If you can play the disc on your computer, it is probably OK. Now you need to look at your DVD player.

1. Staples discs, DVD+R.

2. Yes.

3 Using Roxio creator & MyDVD 9. Hit copy button and follow directions.

4. Yes. The original is actually made on the VCR from the camcorder tape.

 

I made copies earlier in the year and they played on the VCR. Apparently I am missing a step. I tried to finalize the disc, but it told me to use an appendable disc.

Use a good quality blank disc - Verbatim or Taiyo Yden/JVC

 

Generic blanks are never any good really
