Windows DVD Maker: DVD Player Reads "No Disc"
This is my first time making/burning a DVD.
I'm trying to make a DVD of my friend's favorite Saturday Morning Cartoons from the 80's. I've downloaded all the clips from various internet sites (YouTube, Veoh, etc). With most of the clips I have had to convert them into an AVI or WMV file (using an online media converter site). Once downloaded, I then edited the project with Windows Movie Maker. Then I published it to a brand new blank Memorex brand DVD+RW disc.
I had no problems in making the DVD. No errors. Windows DVD Maker took an OBSCENE amount of time to finish encoding the DVD (I fell asleep), but all ran smoothly.... until I tried to play the finished DVD in my home DVD player. It reads "NO DISC" on any DVD player I've tried (I have 3 DVD players). The ONLY place the DVD will actually play is on my PC, where I created it. I'm fine with watching it on my PC, but I'd prefer to be able to watch on my TV in my living room on the sofa.
HELP! Is there something else I need to know? Am I not using the right DVD-formated disc to play in a home DVD player? (although, the specs from Memorex say it should be compatible) Is there an advantage to using perhaps DVD-RW instead?
