my dvd-r's dont play in my dvd-/+r/rw dvd players

ive burned backups of my dvds before and they have been successful, until i recently bought a pack of 50 dvd-r's Fuji Film. and i tried to burn them the same way i copy bfore then (Anydvd -> DVD Shrink -> Copyto DVD) they bun successfully with no errors, but when i try to play them in my dvd players, it doesnt recognize the disc is there i either get "No Disc" or "the disc is dirty" and it only just started happening with these new dvd-r's i got. does anyone have a clue what is wrong?

could be the cds in general. Not all dvds are the same. try a different brand

if you made other copies with other brands, and they work fine. then its a brand issue.

if none of the back ups worked, then you know what the issue is

the dvd PLAYER might be the problem. Do the DVDs run on your computer?


EDIT: by shrinking the data on the DVD, the DVD players might not be able to read it.

so working ones were +r's and non working ones are -r's? that is probably your problem right there. some players only read +, some -, some both, some neither...
