BURNING DVDS

WEVE MADE A MOVIE WITH MOVIE MAKER IN VISTA, AND BURNT IT WITH DVD MAKER IN
VISTA, BUT IT DOESNT WORK IN THE DVD PLAYER. SAYS CANT READ DISK.
THE DISK USED IS A 8X-R.

CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP IN EASY ENGLISH FOR ME. IT WAS FOR MY NEPHEWS BDAY,
AND ITS ALREADY TOO LATE TO SEND.

Please don't use captials, as it's not only hard to read, but on forums is
considered to be shouting and thus rude.

DVD making is an art still, not every disc is comaptible with every player.

Generally all pcs will play all burned discs, so let's start by testing the
disc in your pc, does it play ok in the dvd playing software?

If so, it's not the disc, but a compatibility problem, so it may play on
your nephews dvd player. There is no guarantee though. Also, if one plays
on yours it doesn't mean it'll play on his.

If it doesn't play on the pc we'll have to delve deeper.

Try setting the burn speed in DVD Maker to 1x and see if that helps.
