Bizarre Problem

About 1.5 wks ago I posted that Memorex 8x DVD-Rs would not burn on my LG4120b...DVDs would not play on standalone or on PC..could not even copy the vobs, etc. off the burned DVD..tried this on a bunch of standalones and various computers.

Now get this...my brother-in-law brings in a clone laptop with DVD-ROM. So I tried to copy the files mentioned above off. No go, same errors reading them (CRC). So now I decided to try and play the movies I made. Guess what, using his Interactual Player (software player by Intervideo) all the stuff played FLAWLESSLY!!!!! I installed PowerDVD on his laptop but it would not play either. What would the Interactual Player (Intervideo) allow you to play this supposedly corrupt burn and yet I cannot copy the files off the DVD-R. This means to me that the DVD-R is not all that bad....would like to get the stuff off of it.

Any ideas? I tried his Interactual Player 4 times....playback perfect. Would like to get the fiels back if they are not "really" corrupt.

Memorex Media

Hi,
I had very bad experience with some Memorex media...
I have a few 4X CD-RW and 1X DVD-RW that I can't use with any drive I've tried so far...
:cry:

actually I have used their 4x media fine...but I tend to stick with Maxcell or Verbatim.

But the issue I posted about really has me stumped :-?

l I usually use Maxcel and Verbatim...but the 4x Memorex works fine. I am just curious now as to why the Intervideo player will play the stuff fine. Gotta be a reasons
