How do I burn from another DVD? I'm able to play a DVD on the RW208 model. But I can't figure out how to burn a DVD. I placed a DVD I want to copy from in the burn then hit burn to disc. Took that out and inserted a blank DVD. But wasn't able to burn the disc. What am I doing wrong?

Do you use a DVD burning program or DVD copy program to convert ISO file to DVD? Normally, if you not, it is just data DVD and not a playable DVD disc for DVD player machine.
You can try to use some programs to copy ISO to DVD such as Leawo Blu-ray Copy or Windows Disc Image Burner. Microsoft has included a default feature of burning ISO files to DVD disc.

There should be no need to install any software to make it work. It should be automatically recognized when you plug it in.

My parents had a Sony drive that was the same. The guy at the store says that some sony models have a chip that detects the type of disc and will only play originals.

blank disk to dvd tray....VHS in deck....PUSH PLAY ON VHS...and RECORD on DVD BURNER....if it is a burner...they weren't all burners....it has to say DVD WRITABLE or some thing in that mannern

sometimes nero after burning dvds ,they want play on certain dvd players,, could be the format the movie was in ,, . why dont you download magic dvd copier,, itll copy any dvd,, they will play on any dvd,,goodluck

were you able to play copied dvd's on this unit ? if yes then check setting on the dvd menu for things like DVD REGION and DVD playback speed and types of DVD playable, this is quite likely as i ha this problem on a pioneer model previously.

do those copied dvds no longer play on the same unit ? and you have tried them again on another unit or dvd player ?

rather i suspect problems with the DVD burn itself and its compatibility with the dvd player you are palying them on now (asuming settings in DVD enu are correct as loosely outlined above in point 1)

it may be that if this is a new dvd player than the one you played them on before, the dvd's may have to be closed in a certain way using your burning software so that they are playable on standard dvd players.
please also check that region is not an issue and that the recording speed of the dvd (the rip speed) is not too high or too low for your unit, as this data is stored on the written dvd and is responsible for the quality of the palyback data.

convert them to normal format using file convertor or record in VR format instead of Video format
