I think it was too many different formats of dvd's, I used the one's they recommended, but no luck. I want to transfer the tapes to a flash drive so I can play them on my big screen tv, hopefully those will play on anything.
This was a problem i had with mine, it turned out that I had to go back to the machine and preform s few steps to finalize the CD or DVD. For some reason these were MANUAL steps and were not completed automatically.
