Hi - when you post, please type without using all caps (it's hard to read
and is considered "shouting") and use proper English - what's a "minus
disk"?

You may not be able to burn a DVD with your burner/software and play it on a
DVD player. The DVD standards may be different. Contact the software mfr.
for help.

Some DVD players may not play burned disks at all. Others will play "+"
but not "-" and vice-versa. For example, I have a Toshiba that's about 4
years old that will play "-" but not "+." Since this particular player
predates the widespread use of burned DVDs, there's nothing in the
documentation about it. Try both formats--one will probably work if the
DVDs have been properly burned.

Please turn off your Caps Lock key. It's considered shouting, is extremely
rude and makes the posting difficult to read.

Find the manuals of your stand alone players. What format(s) are they
supposed to be able to read? If you have lost the manuals, you can check at

Hi,
It's the first time I have used this forum, I didnt know caps were
considered as extremely rude, I will consult PC World to sort this problem
out. I'm very offened by some BUT not all of the responses, saying about
using proper english, and being extremely rude. It would have been far nicer
to have just explained about cap locks, instead of making it look as if it
was done on purpose.

The responses about the caps-lock were just trying to help you get
responses, not put you down. Also, you will find that posting in all caps
is considered rude and akin to shouting, no matter what forum you post in
on the Internet, not just here.

What type of file are you trying to copy and play. What format are you using
on the disk.
What is on the disk that you are trying to get to play in your home rig..?

Nobody thought you were doing it on purpose. You do need to learn to post
properly if you want to get help in any newsgroup. It will be to your
benefit if you write clearly.
