Rns510 dvd playback

[Hillbilly]

The DVDs I create work fine else where but not in the car. Just tried Wondershare video converter and no luck. Its odd that it can play originals but not ones that I make. How do I check what format my RNS plays. I assume it was PAL.

One thing that can upset some players is using DVD+ instead of DVD - discs One of my DVD players wont play the + discs.

You must also always finalise any written discs but as you say they play alright elsewhere I guess you have done that.
Wondershare will write in both NTSC and PAL you just select what you want.

I have an NTSC Video camera and all the video plays on my different players Havent tried them in the car though

Thanks for those, that narrows it down a little.

If commercial DVD's plays in the car we can at least confirm the player itself works.
If your personally created DVD's work elsewhere we can confirm that you're making them correctly (probably). What are you testing the discs on in your house? (Or can you confirm if you put them into a computer you are seeing a one or two folders on the disc named "VIDEO_TS" and "AUDIO_TS"??)

Hillbilly has raised a good point. The *type* of disc + or - R and even + and - RW discs can make a hell of a difference. Some players are picky on which type they will accept. Usually it's -R are the most compatible, the +R then -RW then +RW being the least likely to play (or at least it used to be way back when I was burning discs).
Disc brand can also make a difference sometimes with some players just being *that* picky to spite you.

So what brand and type of disc are you using?

I have used really good Verbatim, lesser LG and Bauhn (Aldi) and all work in mine It can make a difference how fast or slow you burn them as well I used the Bauhn when upgrading Firmware and Maps and they worked fine.

Try burning them at about 4 speed and see what happens on a DVD -R disc Get someone else to burn them on a different PC for you and see what happens

Thanks heaps guys for your assistance.
Problem solved i changed from Aldi discs to verbatim disc and works great.

Now my issue is the black bars. I am using wondershare to burn my DVDs. Is there a way to get my clips to utilize the whole screen on the RNS?

Just check the settings to make sure the videos are 16:9. You may need to re-encode the videos if they are not (which would either crop or stretch them).

Windows 7 comes with 'Windows DVD Maker' which (when it works) is not bad, otherwise I use Freemake Video Converter (free download).
