How can I burn movies to a DVD-R or DVD+R disc?

Hello, as I know, both "DVD-R" and "DVD+R" disc are right standard writable dvd disc, just created by different organizations, and I think I know the reason why your burned dvd wont work on your DVD players, because you just burned a data dvd from your movies(directly burn the movies to the DVD-R or DVD+R disc without convert to the right video dvd format), you should note most dvd players only recognize video dvd well, can't recognize data dvd, so if you want to play the burned DVD on your DVD players, you'd better use a right software to convert your movies to video dvd format then burn to a DVD-R or DVD+R disc, to do that well, you can follow me to use RZ DVD Creator, it can convert any movies to video dvd format and burn to any dvd disc(DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL, etc.), easy to use, insert a DVD-R or DVD+R disc into your computer dvd burner drive, run RZ DVD Creator, select the dvd burner drive as the target format, drag and drop the movies into the software then press the START button, you will get a right video dvd, and you can play the burned video dvd well on your DVD players, you can yahoo or google search and download RZ DVD Creator, easy to use, hope it could help you.

If you wanna make a DVD that will work on a standard DVD player, you will need a DVD burning tool to do this. Just copy the movie to a DVD disc, it will actually not read by DVD players. The best and most reliable DVD burning tool that I've ever used is a tool called DVD Creator. It's able to burn all kinds of videos to DVD disc. After that, you can view the DVD on DVD player. It also lets you edit videos and create DVD menus. Easy to use and professional. You should really give it a try.

it generally doesn't matter whether your burning software is dvd-r or dvd+r. so long as it is a dvd burner and your disc is a dvd it should work.. have you tried playing the disc on another player after burning? sometimes I find that my Philips DVD player is not able to play homeburnt dvds (that i purhase from the computer store). it's a player problem not a burner problem. hope that helps.
