Hi, i tried to play some video with my DVD-RW disc, but it have an error message saying its not compatible , but i have already converted the video to eitjher DVD (.vob) or mp4 format . Please advice. Thanks

The error message "Disc Error Playback feature may not be available on this disc" can have a few different causes. Here are some of the most common:

• The disc is not compatible with the DVD player. Some DVD players are only compatible with certain regions or formats of discs. If the disc you are trying to play is not compatible with your DVD player, you will get this error message.
• The disc is damaged. If the disc is scratched, dirty, or otherwise damaged, it may not be able to be read by the DVD player.
• The DVD player is faulty. If the DVD player is faulty, it may not be able to read discs correctly.

Here are some things you can try to fix the problem:

• Try playing the disc in another DVD player. If the disc plays in another DVD player, then the problem is with your DVD player.
• Clean the disc. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the disc. Be careful not to scratch the disc.
• Format the disc. If the disc is formatted for a different region or format, you may need to format it for your DVD player.
• Reset the DVD player. If the DVD player is faulty, you may need to reset it.

If you have tried all of these things and you are still getting the error message, then you may need to replace the DVD player.

Try cleaning lens first.

Unfortunately, the EWR20V5 does not handle DVD +R or DVD +RW discs for recording. It can play back some of these discs, when recorded and finalized on another recording device. However, it may not recognize some DVD +R/+RW discs at all. This recorder recognizes all DVD -R/-RW discs. This is a common manufacturing design for DVD/VCR recorders.

See the first page of the Quick Guide for the EWR20V5 for the disc limitations: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/46971/Emerson-Ewr20v5.html . I hope this helps.

You cannot use a DVD-RW disc on a Durabrand DVD player. It is not a compatible disc format. DVD-R discs that have been finalised (as well as shop-bought legal copies) are recommended for this player. As for video and audio bitrates, check out other forums on video to DVD converting and creation for more information. It is down to trial and error.

DVD RW is a reusable dvd that most home entertainment systems cant read because most times the disc is not properly finalised your pc is another matter,
my advice is that you should burn the movie onto a DVD-R and that should do the trick,

Hi

HI,
Check the manuel some DVD Players do not support DVD RW or -R +R formats.When Ifirst put my burned movie in I got the message that the player cant play that format Just ignore that and advance the Video to where the movie is starting then all my burned movies played fine. My Pioneer BD 51 FD does support DVD RW +R -R formats so be sure that you can play burned DVD RW +R -R on your Sony player. I was in Wal Mart the other day and they had some DVD players on sale but on the box it said that they do not play DVD RW +R or -R Burned DVD's so be careful if you do buy another one I went to best buy and found mine. Check first it will save a lot of hassle later. This software works great but it may not play in your DVD Sony Player there is a list here of compatible DVD Players

your disc is scratched or a pirated one

Is this the unit?

It says the Everio only uses DVD-R or DVD-RW DVDs. Is that the type of DVDs you are using?

sounds like your file is to large by the time it writes in and out or the disks a not to great

bun the dvd player itself !
