Don't have them. I had to redo my pc because windows had problems.



I just noticed the dvd I copied would not play on the dvd player. But played on the pc. I dont recall any errors when burning the dvd or it would have been tossed.

Hi Data636
As Mona stated we need your logs to see what may have went wrong.
It is all guess work with out them.

Please also check if your DVD player can or not support the format of playback (PAL, NTSC or SECAM), since DVDFab doesn't touch the conversion between them.

Due to the lack of LOGs, as you have indicated because of the re-format you had to do because of the Windows problems, we'll have to keep this somewhat of a guessing game...

I see two possible areas of concern here, and need clarification from you on a couple of points...

1.) What media were you using? (in terms of DVD-R DL or DVD+R DL)

2.) What media were you using? (in terms of what Brand name)

Please advise.

dvd being used...

There Memorex +r dl

As I as now going through all the DVDs I had backed up I have the problem with several dvd's.

They play on the pc... but but the dvd player.


all have the same media ..

And I have no logs.. Now I back up the dvd and burn it AND check the copy is the dvd player right away.. Then I will have the logs if it don't work.


Is there a way for dvdfab (newest version) to tell me if the dvd is finalized??

The problem here is your media. Memorex are usually made by CMC Magnetics, and are one of the crappiest brands out there, especially with regards to DL discs.

Strongly recommend you switch to Verbatim +DL (the Made In Singapore ones with the AZO label) discs for all your hard copies, and you'll avoid all these problems.

Hi Data636
Along with the excellent advice given by DC you may also want to make sure that you are burning at 1/2 the rated speed of your disc.

Also please Open Fab click the Click the Green √ at top right corner of the DVDFab screen, and open Common Settings > DVD/Blu-Ray > Write > make sure to have a check in the box that says Set BookType to DVD-ROM, restart Fab and try again.

Logs would be nice to see.

Hi Data636
You may also have better results with ImgBurn, it is "free" and you will find it here along with a tutorial on setting it up with Fab, if using ImgBurn do not forget to set up the AWS in ImgBurn.

As my friend DC suggested, media....media...media!!!
Verbatim DL +R (MIS...made in Singapore) is the best stuff available and the only DL media we recommend.

The DL +R verbs made in India (MII) aren't a bad second choice though, depending on your locale and choices.
If you're in the U.S., there are several reputable online retailers as well as the usual brick & mortar retailers.

Always solid advice from another pal of mine, CBR929.
Definitely bitset the +R media.
