Re XPS 420
I have a problem with my XPS 420, I can not burn DVD's they play on my PC but not on my standalone DVD Player. My old pc P4 2.6 with 2Gig Ram worked fine.
I have tried changing the media to Verbatim -no joy my DVD Burner has the latest Firmware.
Using Vista 32 bit, Nero, tried the supplied Roxio no good.
Anyone had the same issue? Any advice welcome.
Could it be the Chipset drivers I use Drivermax software and it told me drivers needed updating but I have the latest from DELL. When I checked out the Intel web site and searched for Intel(R) X38 Express Chipset it could not find the driver. I used the chipset identity sofware from Intel and it could not find my installed chipset?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh:smileymad:
What can I do - PS anyone need some coasters!!

Didn't say you were O.o
Basically due to the lack of a standardized burning protocol, similar to the IEEE standards or wireless protocols, some burners will burn disks that are not universally compatible, and not every drive will read every burned disk.
As per my original post, if your old unit burns it so your player sees it, use that one.
Well DVDShrink and 1Click are protection hacks.
The software is because XP doesn't burn DVDs by default, and Vista doesn't burn Blu Ray by default. Again, it's not a software-related issue per se. You can blame the music, movie, hardware manufacturers and software industries combined for bickering over format and never settling on a standard for fear that one of the parties would get shafted.
I really give up with this one, I have tried various media formats/ make and XP home currently using Vista 32 bit.
It will record and say successful but will not play on mine or my friends home DVD player.
I have bought another burner with the same results, it's as though it is not burning enough data, if I use the software to verify it comes back as okay??
Has any other XPS 420 user had this problem?
There has to be a test or something I am doing wrong! Maybe buying DELL!
HELP HELP

Sorry for asking this but, are you sure you are making a Video DVD and not a DVD-Rom with the video in it? Its a far fetched option, but I know I myself have burned 14 wavs on a CD-Rom instead of making it an Audio CD! :)

Your solution: Burn with the other computer.
I'm totally serious.
Compliments of the many players, there are no standards for CD/DVD/Blue Ray disks. This has been an issue... well... forever. Just be thankful the days of +/- aren't still around...
