DVD's won't play on KOSS player! (pics from Kodak 7330 on HP Computer)

I have experimentally saved photos from a Kodak C7330 on DVDs, using
'Media Center' and 'Sonic' on my HP computer, and tried to play them on
my older KOSS DVD player.

One was a 'movie' format, where the first pic fades into the second, etc.
The next was a data DVD, closed.
The third was a data DVD, left open.

The first time in, the first disk (movie format)played.

I removed it and put in another. Thee second nor third would not play,
receiving 'bad disk' message.

I put the first back in, and now it also brought up the bad disk message.
Checked all settings, turned unit on and off, all seemed fine. Any ideas?
.... or possibly any recommendations on disk type or ... ?

Thanks for your attention!

If the player wasn't designed to play burned dvd's or the particular file
formats you are using, you're out of luck. The good news is Walmart sell
units that will play almost anything for around $50.

Use DVD-R instead of +R

Hi Paul,

Sorry to hear about your trouble.

Have you tried to play your CD/DVD in another player to see if it works
in any other devices? If not, then it is likely how it was created. What
kind of drive did you use to write the CD/DVD? Is everything compatible
with each other? Might make a difference. All should be complying with
the Orange book rules. Let us know if you can get the media to play
elsewhere.

Talk to you soon,

Older DVD movie players have lasers that operate at frequencies that
cannot deal with the recordable DVD media of more recent years.

That's kind of an urban legend.

I've found that even DVD players that advertised DVD-R compatibility
when new, after several years, get lasers out of adjustment (or something)
and are unable to read DVD-R anyway.

Many newer DVD players can read both DVD-R and DVD+R. The latter is a
better format due to faster write speeds and more reliable data recovery.

It's hardly an urban legend. DVD+R spin at twice the speed of
DVD-R. Some older DVD players can not spin at the DVD +R
speed.

Then they will spin it slower; it doesn't make a difference in
reading.
While it's true that many older DVD readers won't read +R, those days
are mostly gone. Currently marketed reqaders and burners and set-top
devices will, for the most part, read (or write) both.
