DVD copy

[scoobydoo2]

Am using limewire and nero to download and copy dvds however when I try to play it in dvd player it comes up as wrong disc yet when I play dvd's from friends who use the same dvds it plays ok. Any help appreciated

Some DVD players do not play copies U should have
DVD/CD/CD-R/CD-RW/VCD showing on the front of your DVD player
Simply the new DVDs do not play copies. If u look for an old DVD player with the above on the front

What do you mean!!
do your disks work in your friends machine?
if so you have krap dvd player

if not their disks work in your machine
and you are doing something wrong

which is it?

Dvd's of the same brand that have been copied play on my dvd player but when i copy something they dont so yes im doing something wrong just don't know what! Any help appreciated

sorry to sound thick but..
your saying the brand of your disks are ok?
and
your downloading a file(s) from limewire?
and your trying to make them play in your standalone player?
if so what is the file extension of the file(s) you have aquired for example .avi .img .vob .mpg etc
what are you doing with nero to burn them?
or are you trying to copy an original disk
its hard to tell from what you have said
should be pretty easy to diagnose with said info

Am using avi and mpeg files then adding video files in nero

sorry a bit late replying
i guess your using nero 5 or later?
They have a video section i forget the exact name of the app but it is obvious which one converts the avi for you.
you can make menus etc.This always works for me
you might need to make sure its converting it to pal as some tv's cant display ntsc or it will maybe display black and white.
you should end up after some time (hours) with two folders one for audio and one for video with approx four vob files and an .ifo etc on the disc
