DV370 player refuses to play a DVD R-W.

For reference:
Playable Disc Formats: CD, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, SVCD, VCD
Playable File Formats: MP3

By the way, if you want to play other formats in your Philips DVD634, you can convert other formats to MP3 or the formats it supported with a Video Converter software. In this case, Leawo Video Converter is a good choice. It has lots of powerful functions, such as,
1. Convert video and audio between all formats.
2. Trim, Crop, Effect, Watermark to edit video.
3. Support 2D to 3D conversion.
4. Add external subtitle and select audio channel.

Maybe it could be help. :)

This model DVD player can play the following disc formats:

DVD-Video (Region 1 or relevant region coded store-bought movies)

DVD-R (must be finalised on appropriate recording equipment for compatible playback)

CD-R (for jpeg/mp3 media files)

CD-RW (for audio such as mp3)

music CD (such as store-bought albums)

This player will NOT accept DVD-RW/+RW discs, or Blu-Ray.

I hope this helps you a tiny bit.

i think its the format of the movie.check the movie format if its compatible to your DVD to play.

Normally Home DVD players do not accept DVD-RWs. Basically DVD-RW is to be used to carry Data, and useful for PCs not DVD players.

Basic Information:

i) try to choose  right burner for eg: Nero CD/DVD Burner

ii) try to choose the right format,

     for eg: MP3/MP4/ Audio Songs will come under Audio format
               in such case select "Audio CD/DVD format" in Nero CD/DVD Burner


     for eg: .DAT/MPEG/MP4/Video will come under Video format

                in such case select "Video CD/DVD format" in Nero CD/DVD Burner


     for eg: "DATA CD format" is only storing some data on CD/DVD iresspective whether it is                            Videofile or Audio file, 

                these "DATA CD formated" CD/DVD when played in DVD Player will play only Audio files 
                but no Video Files

playing discs recorded on this VCR/DVD Recorder in
other players.
