Trouble with Technika 1020

[DVD Beginner]

I need some help chaps

I have renectly bought a lite-on DVD+RW (LDW-401S) and have made some backups of my DVD's. I have used DVDXcopyXpress, I have also tried DVDShrink/ImgTool as well.
I can make a DVD. It plays back on my PC. It plays on my brother's player (? which brand) but it DOESN'T WORK on my TECHNIKA 1020.
The DVD+R guides all say that the technika is compatible with DVD+R so why don't they play?
Do I need a new player, or could it just be wrong media? If so, what shall i go for??

Thanks (sorry for being so dumb, but this is not easy stuff to find out!!)

- Note that i have a new title for this thread. That should appeal to all those Pedants amongst you. And thanks for the help - Most impressed!!

According to www.dvdrhelp.com / compatibility it should be able to play dvd+R. I would try using an other brand dvd (don't know what you're using now, but try something more expensive).

I would also suggest using an other title for your thread, one that covers the topic. SOmething like DVD+R doesn't play on standalone, so people know if it's worth reading it.

Welcome:

influenza has a good point, your title is what we see first and needs to be as concise as possible. I'd also suggest that you re-read the Forum Rules from the top of the page and get familiar with them, as you have cross-posted this thread in two separate forums. Check out all the Stickies that you find, valuable information is found within them, too. Good luck!

You can edit your thread's title by clicking the "Edit" button, making your changes, then clicking the "Save Changes" button...like I just did with this comment :)

As for the software - Haven't tried nero yet. Just the two i mentioned above

As for the Media - Cheap, chearful and unbranded. I havn't bothered running software to look at the media spec (but i could?)

As for my name. Think i'll stick to beginner. At least for the first few years. If all i ever manage is to get the darn thing to make easy DVD backups, ill be a happy chappy.

I admit double post !!

I can recommaned IMG Tools over NERO. The way you took isn't a bad one. Especially when you're new to this.

Some players just refuse (cheap) discs and also burning at a high speed is not always favoured by standalones.

It was by the way not your name, but the name of the thread we were mentioning.

Tell me more about bitsetting? Is this particular to NERO or needed on all software?

look at http://www.doom9.org/Soft21/Vobtools/Classic_0.90B5.zip for the software. Then go to http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/mpg/dvdshrink2-main.htm to see how it is used.
