Use Phillips own media this unit was designed with DVD+R/RW in mind, it will work with DVD-R/RW discs but Philips invented the + format.

If you are using the DVDR 3380 is recorded video to then upload to your PC the best program is TMPGEnc v4.0 Xpress it has its own function to scan source media from a DVDR, if you use +R or + RW media you don't even have to finalise it. This is only required if you want to play a DVD-R on another standalone

I have never had any problems with SONY and PHILLIPS media, generally speaking cheap unbranded media will have a higher failure rate , but you do get what you pay for when optical media is concerned.

I have a CD-player that says: '' Disc not finalised''. That happends when I put a burned CD in the cd-player and when I put a original CD in the cd-player. What to do???

It should still be possible to play the CD in spite of the Disc not finalised message.

However, I am not clear where you have recorded the CD. When you say origninal CD, is this the one you bought from the music shop.

Finalise CD applies to only to recordable CDs (CDR or CDRW). If you do not have a manual you can dowload one from this site. Refer page 24.

Dvd won't play on another player

if you are using dvd-r/rw discs they need to be finalised to make them compatible for other players, if dvd+r/rw then the other players may not support them.(dvd+ does NOT need finalising)

DVDs from DVR don't play on any other DVD player

yes when you have finished the recording and preferably when the disc is full the disc must be finalised to be compatible with other players but be aware if you finalise a disc you cannot record on it anymore

Cant play philips dvdr3430v recorded discs on another dvd player or pc

Hi,

the only solution to play your recorded disk on other DVD-players to "Finalise" the disk, it means you will be not able to record any other thing on that disk. This means you "close" your disk, furter recording will be not possible on that disk. I tried, it works. PC also will recognise that disk. You will find not the mormal "VIDEO_TS" and "AUDIO_TS" directories on the disk, but players will play it.
Have Fun!

Can't finalise dvd containing AVI movies copied from USB

I would use your PC to finalize discs containing AVI files. There just isn't a way to do it from the Philips. I personally use Dr. Divx, but there are many programs out there that will do this.
