I have Nero v.6.0, but even using Nero, and burning to a DVD+R blank, I don't know if my hp DVD Writer 400c is faulty or if Nero is burning wrong or if my Zenith DVD Player is having a problem reading DVD+R blanks to which Nero has burned various avi, mpeg, or whatever files so I can watch the DVDs on my TV throught the DVD Player. Please look at the specs for my Zenith DVD Player and let me know if there's problem with using DVD+R blanks, burned by Nero's BURNING ROM, and watched on this Player--

I've been using DVD+R blanks, burning with Nero, and recently, when I go to my TV to use my DVD Player, I'll be watching the movie, all is going well, and then there's a pause, longer and longer pauses, then skips, skipping, and even skipping to the end of the DVD. Overall, the DVD show is ruined by the pauses, skips, and jumps. I don't know if it's Nero BURNING ROM that's having the problems, my DVD Burner, i.e. hp DVD Writer 400c, or the Zenith DVD Player (specs above). Please help. This is why I was going to ask for a refund on Nero but they've told me to remove all other burning software like InterVideo, and I did, they gave me a software to clean my system of any DVD stuff that'd interfer with Nero, and still I can't use my DVD Player after a burn without skips, pauses, and jumps, but--BUT--if I PLAY a commercial DVD, no problem. The problem is with only DVD recorded material. So either my DVD Player is having problems reading the burned formats and/or I'm using the wrong DVD blanks, DVD+R instead of DVD-R. But the one time I tried to use DVD-R blanks, I couldn't get my DVD burning software to even acknowledge the blanks.
P.S. How can I get Nero to burn to DVD-R blanks? How can I find out if my Zenith DVD Player is rejecting the DVD+R blanks. The infor on my Zenith Player doesn't indicate DVD+R abilities. So, what do I do since I have this Zenith DVD Player, use Nero burning software, and have an hp DVD Writer 400c drive?
