I successfully burn any DVD in my System using Nero. It also successfully runs on my system, but when I run it on any other system, it shows no files inside it, just as it is empty DVD.

What can be the problem?


My System Configuration:
Intel 865GBFHT
Intel P4 2.8HT
Dynet 1024Mb
NVidia FX5200 256Mb
Seagate PATA 80Gb
LG GSAH22N DVD-RW
Vista Premium
Nero BR 7.5

1:- I gave my friend a free game burnt on that DVD at 8X SpeedBURN, but when he inserted it in his PC Drive, SETUP.exe opened automatically, but when he explored that DVD, there was nothing!

2:- I burnt a Movie at 4X SpeedBURN for my cousin, It ran successfully on his DVD PLAYER, but when he inserted it into PC Drive, it also showed no file inside it.

well , ur fren has a virus or OS problem . there's probobly no problem with either drives although i'm uncertain as the same happened with ur cousin , r theirs old drives , can u name them ? . no hardware issue i think . the same problem was there in the computer center where i was learning C , did u try opening ur disc thru windows explorer or command prompt ( start > run > cmd ) in ur frens pc ? do a virus scan and / or do a re-install of windows . i think its best if u ask vishal gupta about this .

It happened in XP also, as well as in Vista.

Also, when I burn any DVD through my Computer, It always becomes Copyrighted, ie; It cannot copy then and shows MS-DOS Error while copying!

I made a DVD of a Flim, in my Dvive and that DVD now doe'snt Copy!
What is all that Problem?

Must be an error in Nero.
Try burning a new DVD with another software.

I mentioned that it happens in Alcohol 120% and also in Nero, AND I also changed XP to Vista!

This is just 1 Problem & what about another COPYRIGHT PROBLEM?

I read that nero version 7 has lots of bugs. The most stable version of Nero is 6.6.0.14.

Nero 7.X is worst.
Nero Vision sometimes stops while transcoding.
Nero Showtime hangs while playing Big files.
etc etc..

Now coming back to the problem,,
I successfully burn any DVD in my System using Nero. It also successfully runs on my system, but when I run it on any other system, it shows no files inside it, just as it is empty DVD. What's wrong??


Any expert here?

^ Most imp.
Did you burn the files as an ISO or a UDF?
Did you burn files or an image?
Was the disk you copied copy protected?
A screenie of the session/track using isobuster will be very helpful to sort out the problem.
