I'm having a problem with the combination of Nero, an HP200e burner, DVD+R, and Mintek player, and am hoping someone might have some suggestions.

Basically, I rip a DVD to files, using InstantCopy, DVDShrink. Next, I burn a DVD+R with Nero, using those files. The DVD+R plays fine on the PC with PowerDVD, so I know the DVD+R itself is fine. When I put it in the Mintek 1600 however, I get a message saying "No Disk".

I can burn those same files to DVD+RW using Nero, and it plays fine in the Mintek. That tells me that the files themselves are fine, and Nero is also OK. I can also burn a (home made) movie with both Studio 8 and MovieFactor 2 using DVD+R, and it works in the Mintek. That tells me that the media is OK, and that the Mintek can read DVD+R (not to mention I can read other people's DVD+Rs).

The 200e is at firmware rev 1.51, and all other software is also up to date. I think that I've logically eliminated everything, but I still have this one problem: burning a move to DVD+R with Nero cannot be read on the Mintek 1600.

I think I've eliminated Nero (works on the PC and with DVD+RW), the media (works with Studio 8, MF2, and I've tried both Fuji and HP media), the files created by ripping (they work fine when placed on DVD+RW), and the Mintek (works with DVD+R with Studio 8, MF2, and other people's DVD+Rs). I've eliminated everything I can think of, and the problem persists.

Has anyone every run into this type of problem or have any suggestions? Any ideas are more than welcome, since I'm getting tired of all these coasters, and using DVD+RW seems a bit much.

Hello,

I´m only guessing here but I had similar problem with DVD+R (also on HP DVD burner) and Nero. Problem was in finalizing the dvd. Symtoms are the same - standalone plays DVD+RW but no DVD+R burned with Nero. Try to check if your DVD+Rs are finalized.

Just an idea.;)

Thanks for the suggestion. I just used the default settings for DVD Video with Nero, so I'm not sure about finalizing. As it turns out, I was able to get things working by using RecordNowMax instead of Nero. With RecordNowMax, I was able to burn DVD+Rs and read them in the Mintek just fine. No idea why, but there must be some format differences between +RW and +R. In any case, it works as long as I don't use Nero.

I too have problems with my Mintek. I've one with the newer firmware. Here's my config:

DVD2one to create VOB's
Verbatim 2.4X DVD+R media
Sony 510A DVD+-R/RW burner
Nero 5.5.10.28

These work fine in my Apex 1500 and PC. Get "No disc" with Mintek. I'll try the +RW and the REcordNowMax solution too.

Thanks,

Zot

Update: Mintek can read the +RW with RecordNowMax, but not the DVD+R. I used the track-at-once (closed) and UDF/Joliet option. I read on another post newer f/w Minteks can't read +R only +RW? what options did you set with RecordnowMax to get the Mintek to see the +R?
