Sony DVD Recorder

[ltdiver 3]

Just bought a new Sony RDR-GX315 for team recording this season. Better product than just dubbing to a VHS...easier for them to carry, too.

So...dubbed some miniDV to DVD this week here at home (practicing). I used my usual Memorex 4X DVD's and something unusual cropped up. (Note: I've used these same discs on my Mac, playing and recording without any problems surfacing).

Here's what I found....if I recorded VHS to Memorex DVD (analogue) with this GX315 it plays back just fine. On my JVC player, my Macintosh computers, as well as the Sony GX315.

If I recorded via firewire (iEEE1394) (digital) it wouldn't play on anything! If I wanted either DVD player to recognize it I had to hit 'play' to close the tray and play (overriding the program). There was no executable file for anything to recognize.

So....after browsing the technical support pages at Sony, the owners manual, and such, I called their technical support....

Here's what was discovered. My brand new Sony RDR-GX315 doesn't like Memorex. There's something amiss with the Memorex product. At their suggestion I went out and bought Fuji. Recorded (ditigally) some stuff. Now it plays on everything just fine.

Wonder if Memorex knows....

Found this link on another thread, when using the search word, "Memorex".

Long, but a very good read.
