DVD Issues I bought an external DVD burner a few months ago, when I burned a disc of some work I did for my church, they couldn't read it. I tried again with another disc, same problem. Finally, I used a different computer, and it was fine. The only thing I can think of is that the Roxio program that came with the burner must make it so that computers without it can't read the disc. Is there any way to fix this? It's a big problem.

I use Roxio Easy Media 8.0 with a Plextor CD burner. I burned almost 10 Memorex 24X CDs [mostly pictures] and was able to read them . . . until I took the CD out of the burner. From that point on NADA. Roxio first blamed the CDs, then the burner. In fact, you probably just need to "finish the disk, using the commands provided that will let all machines read them.

I've tried that. They work in my computer, but nobody else's.

The whole thing is pragmatic. I use Roxio and it works, I use reasonably good CD’s. When I take a trip I bore my friends and non-friends with a CD often contains 50 or 80 frames. Sometimes they can see the images, sometimes they can’t. All depends on the software they have and skill level. Lately I have been using the Share tab on Corel Photo Album 6. This is good software and goes hand-in-hand with Corel Paint Shop Pro X. I like the combination. I can do a lot with it at a fraction of the cost. Anyway, Photo Album 6 burns a CD. The CD contains the picture files plus an executable (.exe) that runs a slide show on most any computer even those running Windows 95 or 98, even if they have no viewing software. It’s good for me. And yes, I get a fair share of bad burnings. “When eating a watermelon you encounter seeds, just spit them out and keep chomping”.

I had problems iinitially because some older DVD Drives do not the different DVD formats out there. I think format is the right word, but if you notice when you buy DVD's they come in either DVD-R or DVD+R. Some DVD drives can read both, some can only read one or the other. I would check this first. As far as Roxio anything I have ever burned can be read my any other computer with or without Roxio. Hope this helps.
