Burned disk will not play on car cd player

A cd-rw disk, burned on my compaq presario as a simple cd audio disk, works on the computer and on some home systems i've tried, but will not work in the car cd player ( tried more than one car cd player )... what's the problem?
thanks in advance for the help .

Burned CDs that won't play in my '97 Chrysler WILL play in my '02 Toyota. I agree with the response regarding the specs of the players being used.

    burned cd will not play in car (plays, but i can't hear it)

    In my experience car CD-players are more picky than home CD-players, when it comes to a certain combination of burner and CD-R brand.
    My over 10 year old home CD-player plays every CD I burned, but my car CD-player rejects some brands.
    From your first post I understand that burning CDs on your 'old' computer didn't give problems.
    Maybe trying another well known brand (Sony or TDK) will solve the problem burning CDs with your 'new' computer.
    Don't use cheap 'white-label' CD-Rs. They lead often to disappointment, when burning an audio CD.
    Also don't use CD-RW and CD-Rs especially designated for music. The latter do cost more and often don't play on car CD-players.
    The above is from my own experience and doesn't have to be a general experience.

  • Burned CD Will Not Play in Car

    I burned a cd in iTunes and it will play on my home cd but not in the car. I've burned other cds on my old computer using Toast, also CD-R, and they play in the car just fine. My Preferences are set at audio cd, I double checked and ended up burning a second cd which also won't play in my car, just to make sure I'd done it right the first time. What the heck is going on?

  • Burned CDs will not play in car

    New MacBook Pro and now I cannot get music CDs to play car. 

    Are you implying that your burned discs from old Mac products played in your car before?  Are you using stickers/labels on the discs that you're trying to play in your car?  Will the first tracks play, but not the later tracks on the CD?

  • ITunesBurnt CD will not play on car CD

    I download iTune. Burn to CD and it burns as a iTune which will not play on car CD or any other cd machine. Can anyone help?

    I don't understand what you did. Did you burn songs to a CD, which should work, or just downloaded iTunes, the program, and burned to a CD. If it is downloaded, it will be good in case you lose the installed program, and for nothing else.
    I assume that you installed iTunes. Please, explain a bit better what you did.

  • I made a movie on iMovie and went to burn to DVD and of course I could not...contacted Apple and they said to download an app to help solve this problem...i did..so I could finally burn a DVD, but it will not play on my DVD player...HELP!!!

    I made a movie on IMovie and went to burn it to a DVD ...I could not do this so I contacted Apple..they had me download an App and then I could make a DVD...but it will not play on my DVD player...does anyone know how I can solve this problem.. I purchased this to make DVD's and now I can not do that!!

    This is a known issue.  It really comes down to two key factors - what type of DVD are you burning to + what type of DVD player you have.
    This article will help.  It's lengthy and can be technical in some parts but should shed some light on your problem.

  • I transferred photos from my camera to my computer and created a burn folder.  I recorded the burn folder on a DVD but it will not play on my DVD player.  What am I doing wrong?

    I transferred photos from my camera to  burn folder on my macbook Pro.  Made a DVD from the burn folder but it will not play on my DVD player.  What am I doing wrong?

    How did you do this burn? Did you use a program like iDVD?  A DVD player requires that the data on the DVD is recorded in the proper format: MPEG-2.  A program like iDVD will do this.  There are other programs available that can do the proper coding (Roxio 'Toast' for example), but iDVD has the most features and is easy to use.  It is no longer available from Apple, but if you search on Amazon, you can find 'iLife 11', a suite of programs including iDVD.  It will function properly on Apple's current operating system, but it cannot make a High-Definition (Blue-Ray) presentation.  It is Standard Definition only, as are all regular DVD's. One good way to present photos on a TV is to make a slidesow in iPhoto, then export that slideshow to iDVD, where it will be properly formatted for a DVD player.  Or, iDVD can make its own slideshow of up to 99 photos.  HTH.

  • Burned a dvd but, it will not play on my dvd player for tv

    I created a slideshow with itunes music added in iphoto.  I tried the recommended free "burn for mac" software download.  It burned a dvd but, this will not play on my dvd player for tv.  What software title can i purchase that will burn my iphoto slideshow to a dvd that will play on typical home dvd player for tv AND on a windows pc?

    some dvd players are very picky on what they will play some only
    play dvd+r some only dvd-r some can't play dvd+rw and or dvd-rw
    dvd burnable is a pretty fragmented std.

  • Burned disk will not eject. Any ideas ?

    I have burned photos onto disks many time before with no problem.
    This time, the burned disk will not eject.
    Any suggestions ? Thank you.

    Launch the Terminal applicaiton and enter the following: drutil tray eject 0 followed by the Enter key.
    Or reboot your Mac with the right button on the mouse  held down during the boot.  That will eject the disk.

  • Why doesn't my slideshow burned to disc not play on my dvd player or game devices?

    Why doesn't my slideshow burned to disc not play on my dvd player or game devices?  I've created the slideshow using my Mac on OS X 10.6.8 & burned to both a CD-R & DVD disc.  The disc does work on my computer; however will not play on my dvd player, projectors or gaming devices.

    Did you use iDVD to create a video DVD or did you burn a Quicktime file version of your slideshow to a DVD disk via the Finder thus creating just a data disk?
    If you didn't use iDVD then that's the reason the disk won't play on those other devices.

  • I've burnt a slideshow of my photos onto a DVD disc but it will not play on my DVD player. It plays ok on my acer laptop. I burnt the same disc with slideshow from my old dell computer

    I've burnt a slideshow of my photos on my Apple Mac to a DVD+REW disc but it will not play on my DVD player or on a combined DVD/TV. However it will play on my wife's Acer laptop. I then erased the disc & burned another slideshow from my ancient Dell computer onto the same disc &it played just fine on everything. So it seems the problem ids somewhere in the Apple Mac process. Any ideas?

    If you want to play material on a dedicated DVD Video hardware player, you must create a DVD video disc, and you must use a DVD authoring application.The software creates files that the DVD video player can play and will burn them to a recordable DVD disc. Examples of applications are:
    Roxio Toast and iSky DVD Creator
    Mac's used to be supplied with iDVD authoring software but Apple discontinued it in 2011.
    Thanks for that.  Will need to check iSkysoft out.  I am in the process of looking for a VisualHub replacement/backup.  Especially when it comes to ease of use.  Toast is ok.  Just looking for something along the lines of VH. 

  • I have downloaded a movie which has the extension .m4v.  This will not play on my CD player and I can't find software to convert to a more universal DVD format.  Can anyone help?

    If you've bought a film from iTunes then you can only copy it to a DVD or CD for backup purposes, you won't be able to watch it on a stand-alone DVD player.

  • Burned CD will not play on a computer

    I've discovered that CDs that I have burned will not play on a computer (Mac or PC), while they play perfectly fine on a CD player (in the car, boombox, etc). I have the latest version of iTunes, and I use CD-R discs. What the heck is going on?

    Try different brands of CD_R media. Also check speed of your cd burner and set burn speed in I-Tunes to match instead of maximum possible, If that doesn't work try a slower burn speed. Also do not run other programs while burning. Check your Cd on other players to make sure that is not the problem. I-tunes gives very few parameters to chose from so it is hard to do anything wrong in the program settings.

  • HT4718 After burning a slideshow from iPhoto export to a DVD, it will not play on my DVD player OS X 10.9.4

    iMac 27' OS X 10.9.4 I burned a slideshow from iPhoto export to a DVD and now it will not play back on anything. The player said Unknown disc. What can i do?

    I do find that using one of these programs will reduce the sharpness of the photos.
    Granted, I've never used iPhoto - I use Photo to Movie for slideshows and various versions of iMovie for videos, but my pics are excellent quality and my videos are shot in 1080p (better camera)  or 720p (small camera) and the results are superb on my TV using both iDVD and Toast. However, I do not encode in iDVD, I simply use it to add a theme and menus. The encoding is done by Photo to Movie, or iMovie 06 HD (the only version ever to process losslessly) and either/both are imported into iDVD as a complete .mov, or Toast.
    Since using those methods, I've never had a problem with the sharpness or crispness of my footage. My eyes cannot discern a difference between my "production" and true HD (unless of course I shook the camera while shooting, LOL).
