Is any body having with gridiron gang? I have anydvd and clonedvd2 and I can see it write to the disc, but, it won't play. I've tried it in my dvd rom and in my dvd player. Any help in this matter would be great.
1. Visit your burner's website, and update your burner's firmware if possible.
2. Use good quality blank media. Try Verbatim (CMC--not Prodisc or MBIL), Maxell Broadcast Quality, Taiyo Yuden, etc.
If you're going to make a double layer backup use Verbatim + R DL media (made in Singapore); I find
most burners will burn this stuff well at 4x (to be safe); other burners can burn this stuff at 10x with
no problems. Get to know your burner.
3. Change the booktype of the blank media you're using to "dvd-rom". The best way to do this is through the
software that came with your burner (if possible).
Otherwise, use Nero cd-dvd speed to do this if you have to:

This is a free program. (Click "Extra", then "Bitsetting". Make the change to "dvd-rom" and click "set".)
If Nero cd-dvd speed doesn't work for you (options are greyed out), do this:
a) Download and install imgburn:
http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
This is also a free program
b) Insert your blank media in your burner.
c) Select your burner in the "Destination" drop down box.
d) Click "Tools"-->"Drive"-->"Change Booktype"
e) Choose your burner
f) Under "Change For:", select what you're using
g) If your current setting is "dvd-rom", leave everything alone and exit Imgburn and ignore step "h)"
h) Under "New setting", select "dvd-rom". Click "Change" and then "Ok". Exit Imgburn
Some drives lose their settings each time you eject, so you might have to do this each and every time before you burn.
You can skip this step if your burner defaults to dvd-rom automatically with blank media.
