Okay ...this is where I'm at...using all the advice I got from yesterday...

I only used movies, videos etc w/the mpeg avi for movies (I beleive)
Cleaned out the bogus stuff....

The movies not only played on my CD+RW....but i transferred them to CD+R...all is well...

Then i went to the TV and tried to play them on both DVD player /recorders I have ... nothing showed up...it read the cd as blank...

Tried burning them to the DVD+RW and burning same stuff from pc to DVD+rw...

DVD+RW disc was not acknowledged in pc as being there to burn...

So we have gotten clear movies etc to fit AND play on my pc from CD+rw and CD+r discs.....

Now do I have to 1. use other DVD-R or DVD-RW discs? instead of DVD+R DVD+RW discs?

2 is there any truth that BOTH of my brand new dvd player/recorder vhs player/recorder/combos won't play certain dvd formats?

I think we are close here to solving this problem....

Then i can start helping other people out when I can...

TY
