Hi Don, You'll want to be sure you finalized the disks. You must do that so that other devices can play them, or even "see" the data. If that's not it then sometimes you get the old +R/-R conflict, but then if it works in the Toshiba it should work elsewhere, assuming you finalized. Hope that helps!

Hello All HTer's! This maybe a simple thing, but here is what I am trying to do: 1. I have tapes from an older Panasonic PV DV53D 2. I recorded them onto DVD using my Toshiba D-R410 3. I then tested out the recording, and could view these movies on my Toshiba D-R410 4. I then gave them to someone so that they could watch them on their computer... Nothing... the DVDs looked blank.... I know I should be able to do this.. well least I think I know... Any ideas of what I am missing? thanks for all the help in the past! don TFI Enterprises Don Stevens 785 Williams Street, # 142 Longmeadow, Ma 01106 Office: 413.209.8333 Cell: 860.614.4153 Email: dstevens at tryandfindIT.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
