I time recorded (HDD) a movie, spent a happy hour editing to remove (Hide) unwanted segments/chapters, pressed copy to DVD (DVD+R used) on the remote, copy made, went to play back in another DVD player I use for test, NO DISC it read.
OK, I eventualy worked out I hadnt finalised the DVD, put back in the LiteOn, finalised it, back to player, got thumbnail of movie on screen but I cant make it play.
I tried it in the computer, same result.
Burnt another disc as thought mabye bad or I had stuffed up.
Followed all the steps thru manual, took to player, loads, shows thumbnail but wont play.
OK, chose different brand disc, same result.
So I tried using a DVD+RW, didnt finalise it as manual says not needed and it plays in both computer and DVD player without a problem.
One thing I did notice is that it had recorded and shows ALL (hidden chapters) that was on HDD for that movie.
Total waste of time editing if its going to do that.
I even tried the 'Guider' copy option for the last DVD+R.
Obviously I am doing something wrong but cant see what.
I did exactly the above recently with another time recorded movie and made a copy and that worked ok so what the hell have I done this time that is different?
Help please?????
PS.The original movie is still on the HDD, there is nothing else recorded on it all all.
