If i copy certain dvd's it works on +- 50% of dvd players and it is not the brand of disc i am using because i just put another movie in copied on the same type of disc in and it plays. I did burn the one that dont work again and it still doesn't want to work.

From The Official DVD FAQ (http://www.dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html):Q:[4.3] What about recordable DVD...?

A: There are six recordable versions of DVD: DVD-R for General, DVD-R for Authoring, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD+R....

Q: [4.3.1] Is it true there are compatibility problems with recordable DVD formats?

A: Yes. None of the writable formats are fully compatible with each other or even with existing drives and players....In addition, not all players and drives can read recorded discs....For a database of standalone player capabilities, click on www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers.

Your problem is with the 1 that won't play. It could be a bad vob, ifo, etc. Re-author the disc and burn it again. Your problem isn't a media issue.
No matter if i write that one over again it does't want to work nomatter what i try.
What have you tried?

What is the movie that won't play?
