UK DVD-R not working in US
Hi,
This has really confused me and cost me a lot of money.
I took on a job to duplicate a DVD with REGION 0 in the UK. I produced what I thought an exact replica of two DVD's all playing in a UK DVD player and playing in a US DVD player without any issues. At least I have been told by my client that the original DVD is playing without issues in the US as well but I can't confirm that my self.
So this is what I have done using a MICROBOARDS CX-1 duplicatior:
1. Made a one off copy and tested which worked fine
2. Ran a batch of 300 on the DVD duplicator along with printed a label
3. Tested randomly on my PC DVD player
4. Tested randomly on my DVD player at home (UK bought)
I delivered this to my client with a DVD cover and DVD boxes which he took with him to the US - now he claims none of them are playing in the US DVD players and comes up with "DISC ERROR"
The DVD's being used are TAIYO YUDEN DVD-R16X so they are top range as well.
I ran three different originals, one which I created my self from a studio recording. My client claim no copy is working. The latest one I did myself I had to give him in PAL not NTSC so I did tell him they will not work, hence only made 10 of that original.
So I'm very confused and obviously my client lost a lot of confindende in me having carried almost 100kg over the Atlantic........
Does anyone have any theory on what is wrong ?
Many thanks.
Markus

Hi ComputerTechie,
I'm using a CD/DVD duplicator "MICROBOARDS CX-1" and the disc copies work fine in UK DVD's so and copy protection issue is ruled out ?
Can the country code on the PC have anything to do with the final DVD when making a direct copy ?
I didn't know there was any way of telling your DVD what country the DVD is from, isn't this what the region codes are there for ? This DVD is region 0 so will play in any DVD.
The original still works in both UK and US DVD's ... the copies only work in UK DVD's .
Thanks.

Still not sure this is the issue, we are sending 10 test DVD's to the US for trial and weill revert back.
What happens if you change your Country code to US the burn a copy and send to him?
Did the client change the dvd player to play UK DVD?
