Page 1 of philips dvd recorder copying problems?

A bit of help needed i have been using datawrite dvd+r(yellow & blck ones) to back up my dvd collection.they play back fine on my philips dvd recorder but when i play them in another dvd player they will stop half way through & return to the start.
does anyone know why?is it the disks im using or is it another problem.if it is the disc what disks should i use?
thanks for your help.

Hi,
I use Datawrite +R`s and have no problem playing them back on my Pioneer. I have more problems playing them back on my 880 as you may be aware of the faults these Phillips machines have.

Are you sure the original recorded all the way through in the first place!

Probably a limitation of your playback machine - sounds like an inability to do a layer change to me.

Which player is it ?

DVD recordable discs are all single layered - so it cannot be this problem!

Doesn`t detract from the theory that it`s a problem with the playback machine though : if it uses a second generation loader (a lot of budget players do) it simply may not be capable of reading DVD+ correctly :-)

i have a sony f11 sony 325 and bush tv combodvd 142,i have just ordered some traxdata fron bigpocket.co.uk so i will see how i get on with them.what cheap players play dvdr+ ok?

Ah, hello fellow Yiddo bredrin

i use the datasafe media the yellow and black ones ive played my disks on all makes of dvds and the only one that stops about 15 minutes from the end was a toshiba dvd/vhs combi but it works on me mothers toshiba also the dual layer disks when they pause and switch over it causes your copy to pause could that not be the prob just a thought
