Can't play -RW on dvd player

there are 2 sensors in a blue ray player. if the blue ray sensor is burned out, it will only play dvd and should play a cd. mine blue ray players play all disks

Does your DVD player support DVD R/RW +/- formats? If not, you cannot play DVDs you have burned yourself on it. The player should say either on it or in your manual.

Try to faineliz your DVD rw

DVD-RW
It is the re-recordable version of the DVD-R. To use this type of media you will need to buy a DVD-RW recorder. The DVD-RW recorders usually record DVD-R, CD-R and CD-RW media, too. Similarly to what happens to DVD-R, DVD-RW disks can be played in newer commercial DVD players without any problems. Older commercial devices cannot recognize the media, refusing to play the disk. To play a DVD-RW disk, commercial players need the disk to be finished. After finishing the disk, you can only record new data in it by reformatting it, which makes you lose all the recorded data.

DVD+RW

It is the re-recordable version of the DVD+R and everything that was said about the DVD+R is valid for the DVD+RW. Only the newest DVD players play movies recorded in disks using this format. There are recorders on the market that can record both DVD-RW disks and DVD+RW ones. These recorders are called DVD?±RW. Similarly to the DVD-RW, the disk needs to be finished to be played in commercial DVD players, and to record new data in the disk after having finished it requires reformatting it, which makes all the data in it to be erased. DVD+RW recorders are usually capable of reading DVD-RW disks (but not of recording them) and vice-versa.

There you are.

This is not an issue with the drive. The drive is not what tells your pc to play movies automatically. Anyhow, I don't know what version of windows you are using, but if you click start-help and then type in 'auto play' it will show you how to change the settings so movies will play automatically. Also, if you don't have it already, install VLC media player.....it plays pretty much any video files.


Hope this helps!

Most home DVD Drives do not support the DVD+RW format. Try burning to a regular DVD-R disk and that should work.


Good Luck,

Install k-lite codec pack ,you are missing codec. Some recommend vlc player.

If the DVD player will not read DVD-RW then you will not be able to play the music with your DVD player.

i want 2 be able to play all types of dvds onmatdvd3307

Just like with CD players...not all Players will read the CD-RW format..but they will read the CD-R's. Check your manual to see if your DVD-Player is compatible with DVD+RW formats.
