problem reading burnt dvd on the dvd player

[Archiebear]

Okay first off, dvd shrink is excellent i tried it out it worked perfectly on my computer. However when i go to watch my burnt DVD on my tv's DVD player, it doesnt load. I'm assuming that I need to close off the dvd, finalize it or make it so it cannot be further changed. I'm not sure. I've tried other programs such as DVD decrypter, Nero, MyDVD, but DVD shrink is definately most user friendly. I just can't figure out how to make it so my burnt dvd's after burning them on dvd shrink would be playable on my TV's DVD. Any help on this would be great.

Thanks

did you make an .iso with dvdshrink and burn it with dvddecrypter?

Did you check your dvd model # with dvdrhelp.com to see if it can play DVD-R and/or DVD+R?

What brandname media are you using?

PowerDVD and WinDVD play it flawlessly?

it runs flawlessly in PowerDVD, i made an ISO file for the dvd decrypter but i found the dvd shrink to be much easier to use, but the only wrong there is I cant watch it on my TV's DVD.

Its prob them DVD player on the TV. My sony will play both DVD+R and DVD-R, but my portable player will only play DVD-R. That might be your prob.

it's not the dvd player it can read dvd-r and dvd+r, it's a toshiba, something else is wrong...i can't figure out what.
