Ok my findings are as follows:
Firstly, excluding dolby surround seems to work everytime. Perhaps with a newer DVD Player I may try it again later but the sound is fine for what I want at the moment.
I record on DVD - RW for two reasons. Firstly I can re-use them but more importantly I have found over the years they seem to play on a wider range of players.
My own DVD player is a full size, TV recorder/player which has a hard drive as well as removable disk drive. It is about 4 years old. IF .....and only if I insert a previously created disk (2014) and wait until it is ready to play, then remove the disk and replace it with one created today, the new disk will play perfectly. But, it will only play it once and then you have to repeat the process.
I took one of the disks to my mothers who has a little DVD player about 8 years old and the disk playeed fine.
So my conclusion is that it is a player problem.
Thank you all for your help and advice.

Hi and thanks for your reply.
It appears to work.......providing I start to play one of my older (2014) DVD discs first. If when I remove that disc I immediately play one that I created today, todays disc will play.
If I then walk away for 30 minutes and go back later to insert the new disc, the DVD player says it is not formatted. Only found this out because I played an old DVD first thing this morning whilst I was creating without Dolby sound to test the player was ok.
I am going to try two things. Firstly create a disc with Dolby sound and try to play it after an old DVD. And secondly, take one of the discs to my mothers and see if it plays on her DVD player.
If those two options work I think it is more of a player problem than a creation problem perhaps?

Hi
Prior to my computer upgrade to Windows 10 I succesffuly made holiday videos that I created on DVD and they played back perfectly on TV.
Since the upgrade and also upgrading to PD13 I can create a DVD that will play back on the computer but the TV shows a message saying that the disk in not formatted correctly.
I am creating as follows:
Recording format .. DVD-Video Widescreen 16:9
Format....MPEG-2 HQ Best Quality
Encoding.....Dolby Digital 2 Channel
I have never needed to format the disc before when creating it with PD12. Am I missing something here, and if so what please?
Thanks

Hi Optodata
Decided to leave PD12 on system for now. PD13 appears to be successfully installed together with V3130 Patch as suggested.
Will start to catch up on the work held up with the Windows 10 Installation. Hopefully all will go smoothly.
Question now resolved.
Thank you

Hi
I have just purchased PD13 due to my computer being upgraded to Windows 10.
- Do I Need tyo un-install version 12 before installing PD13?
- Do I need to download either of the patches mentioned in this section of the forum. Or is it a case of 'wait and see' if all okay first.
Thank you
Viv

Hi All
Have just purchased a HP Computer which came with a tempting sample of PowerDirector V10. The temptation worked and I have now purchased version 12 Ultimate (CD).
Do I need to un-install the sample version before installing the new disks please?
Thank you
