-   Same problem. I use Magnavox to play and dub to DVD. Some recorded DVD-R disc will read to other players - some will not. All discs have been finalized, and all will read to play on the Magnavox. It's very frustrating. If I insert the disc again and re-finalize, I get a message that it cannot be done. I'm wasting a lot of DVDs and a lot of time. HELP! -   searcy

-   Did you ever find a solution to this? I am having the same problem but i don't have the dvd player any more. Now I have family videos copied to DVD that won't play.-   Eyebetoni
You have to go into the Home menu and select setup. At the bottom left there should be an icon that looks like a dvd disc. Select that and then go to finalize and select that to finalize the disc. After that is complete it should play on any dvd player. I had this problem and I got through to LG's customer service line and had them talk me through it. After I finalized the disc, it worked.
The solution is: insert the DVD you recorded in to the same DVD recorder, then go to the setings and finalize the disc, the disc was not finalized when recorded. try it.
