I've recently bought a standalone DVD Recorder.
Just a standard one . . . no hard drive.
I bought it mainly to transfer a lot of home videos onto DVD . . . as it's much easier than mucking around trying to use a PC. Sure a PC is more flexible . . . but it's so much easier and quicker to just hit PLAY on the VCR and RECORD on the DVD unit.
I do have a problem though . . .
The unit works perfectly and creates dvd's that can be played on all the other standalone dvd players that we have, but I can't get the disc to play in my PC.
At first I thought I might have done something wrong, but I took one of the discs to work and it played on their PC just fine.
My PC/DVD has no problems playing commercial DVD's, but it simply can't seem to "see" the home made discs . . . . it won't "autoplay" and Explorer doesn't acknowledge that there's a disc in the drive . . . which is a pain . . . . coz the idea is that I wanted to make multiple copies of these home movie dvd's for other relatives.
It's obviously a setting / driver problem . . . but I don't know where to look.
Any ideas ?

What format is the DVD you wrote +R, -R, +RW, etc. Could be that your PC DVD drive can't handle the format you're using. How olds the drive??
Thats the most obvious thing I can think of. Other than that I'd be scratching my head, without actually standing in front of all the stuff.
