Have a look in your set-top dvd player manual to find out what formats it can handle. Some can play dvd+ & some can't.

What format did you burn them to CD. Was it VCD or SVCD? Some dvd players don't play svcd. Also, vcd uses mpeg-1. svcd & dvd use mpeg-2. So you wouldn't be able to use mpeg1 to burn to dvd unless your softw converted it. ie: the conversion required for the vcd wouldn't be able to be burnt directly to dvd. It would need to be re-converted. So basically start from the original file(s).

I 'think' some pc players won't play dvd+ disks.

If your set-top dvd player can play rw media, then why not do your trials on that rather than R (write once only) media.

Can your burner burn DVD+ media? Some burners can't. What brand & model of burner ae you using?
