lg rh7500 hdd/dvd recorder

[ajmmac]

i have one of these recorders--when i record to the hdd from tv and then burn recording to dvd+rw disk it plays ok on the machine plus my stand alone dvd player and my pc--if i burn a dvd+rw disk on my pc using nero or a combination of dvd shrink and nero it will not play on the lg recoder--i get an unknown disk message and it ejects--it will however play on my stand alone player and my pc--if i check disk types using nero cd-dvd speed tool it lists the dvd+rw disk recoded on the lg recorder as a dvd-rom but the one burnt on the pc as dvd+rw and so is not recognised by the lg recorder--anyone know if/how i can burn to a dvd+rw on my pc which will play on my lg recorder--thanks for any help

ajmmac, I just burned two discs using Nero Express. One was a DVD - RW, the other was a DVD +RW. Both have worked in my 7500. In the Express version there aren't as many options as in Nero Burning ROM (if you have it - it's on my other machine). In the options, just before you burn the disc, there is a tick box for DVD high compatibility. If you are using DVD +RW, there will also be another option - Book Options. I left this on 'Automatic' and it worked, there is also a DVD ROM option. Did you make sure that you told Nero that you were making a Movie DVD and not a Data DVD?

thanks for ur reply wideboy--i am using nero express 2 and i have told it it is movie dvd and not a data--however although i have seen the book option and checked it i did not notice the "dvd high compatibility" option or the dvd rom option--will go thru it again and see how it goes--thanks

hi wide boy--i have been away a while so haven't had a chance to work on it--in my last response i said i was using nero express 2--that should have been nerovision express 2 which as u know is different--i have the nero burning rom u mentioned and will look at that--cheers--arthur

for wideboy--thank you so much for your interest and i hope u do not mind if i impose on you a little further--right--i am using nero 6 and have tried every combination of functions and settings as well as different brands of disks and still i get the 7500 message unkown disk--what brand of disks are u using?--i have a feeling i used philips b4 and they worked but i do not have any new ones to try--if it is not too much trouble perhaps u could email me details of the procedures and settings u r using to burn ur disks successfully so they play on the 7500--i would be eternally grateful--arthur

ajmmac - welcome back. The -RW disc was TDK, the +RW disc was RIDATA. Originally I didn't use NeroVision because I already had some 'video' files on my computer(VOB files taken off a DVD). These were burned by using NeroStartSmart and choosing Photo&Video, then Burn DVD files. This is when I got the different burning options.

I then realised that you might be burning avi files or similar. I've just done this using Nerovision Express 3 - SE. I choose to make DVD, then DVD Video and Add Files (to the window). Went to record onto the +RW RIDATA and it has worked OK. I didn't get the ROM options etc.

There is one option though under More and Configure - there is a tick box to 'enable all supported grecorder formats for the image recorder', but I didn't use it.

The only other thing I can think of is to burn the video to the hard disc and then see if my first method works by recognising the video as 'video' files.

If I get a chance later, I'll try that.

thanks wideboy--will try some more and let u know--cheers--arthur

hi wideboy--given up on this machine--decided it is ******--tried new blank dvd+r in machine and it did not recognise it to format it--said "do not recognise dvd+rw--format?--yes/no?"--i chose yes and after few secs exact same message appeared--then would not play some pre-recorded bought dvd's--played lord of the rings for eg but not back to the future--all are region 2 and have played on my cheapo tv/dvd combi in the bedroom--even the pc burned dvd+rw's play on that--it is only 5 months old so sending it back--thanks so much for all ur help and time--maybe u could send ur email so i can let u know how i get on--reckon this thread will be dead by the time things are resolved--cheers--arthur

the starred out word surprisingly was f-e-c-k-e-d--not the usual u spelling--thought that would have got thru

[ajmmac]

[wideboy]

Sorry to hear that it might be ******! Mine is just coming up to a year old - touch wood. Will get in touch with you later.
