error message on my dvd-r

[neonxfirefly]

Hey all!
I have a movie I burned successfully however when I try to play it in my dvd player (new sony player) on a panasonic hdtv about 2 yeard old, it comes up with a message saying "the disk cannot be played please check the TV system". i have never heard of this before. has anyone else experienced it?

Cleaned up your post a bit.

Is your dvd player capable of playing dvd-r? Is this your first attempt at playing a burned movie with this player?

No, I have made other DVD-R movies including Matrix Reloaded, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, and some other new releases. The player has been able to read those perfectly. In fact last night I made a copy of 50 First Dates to test it, and though it took about 10 seconds to load, it worked great afterwards.

sounds like it is either PAL or NTSC format and you have the opposite of whatever the disc is.

i think that might be the problem as well. and im not nearly advanced enough to be able to convert it myself. thanks for the help though :) if anyone would be willing to give me a step-by-step walkthough that would be awesome
