[WizDawg]

i just got my sony 500ul. for now i have it hooked up usb1.1, untill i get my pcmcia card. anyways, all i have for now if the sony dvd+rw that came with it. i used dvdDecripter to make a .iso file then put that iso file on the dvd with dvdDecripter. after it was done, it didnt work in my xbox, ps2 or internal dvd-rom, or the sony500ul. what is my problem. do i need to format the dvd+rw before i can put a movie on it,

what am i doing wrong?

i need you help
thanks

That's all there is to it, but standalone players don't have a very good track record for playing RW disks of either the + or - format, I'd be surprised if you ever get the PS2 to even acknowledge an RW disk's presence.

It should work in the DVD ROM, though.

Try erasing the disk and just burning some files onto it with nero (not a movie) and see if it works?

yes i sees files, i put 2 mp3s on it and it say it, not my dvd-rom, but the sony 500ul did, what am i doing wrong. i tried out dvd x copy, after if makes the image in the hdd, then goes to burn it, my burner isnt listed in the target drive. anyone got any ideas?

It's possible that your DVD ROM might not be able to read RW disks either, actually, it might need a firmware update depending on how old it is.

There's a database at http://www.vcdhelp.com

Try a non-rewritable disk with your ISO and DVD Decrypter and see if it works then.

well i did a firmware upgrade on the sony500ul and wrote the same iso file onto it and it worked 1 time out of about 6 in my xbox, still doesnt read in my dell DVD-ROM but plays in the sony500ul. i thought xbox would have read it fine. i need to try some -r(w)'s

did you mean a fireware upgrade on the burner or rom?

the dvd-rom that came in my dell looks to be a toshiba dvd-rom sd-c2502

you guys think that, this toshiba cant read dvd+rw's?
