How to Play Backup DVDs
My GX entertainment system won't play my backup copies of DVDs made with 321 Studios DVD copying software. These DVDs play fine on my home DVD player, but cause a "DVD Error" message on the GX's entertainment system.
Anyone have this problem and/or know of a solution?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks. I've been using 321 Studio's software and have a large collection that won't play in the Lexus. I'll try backing up one of these disks to test your suggestion.
Thanks again. I'll report back if it works.

All I had to do was RTFM (Read The .... Manual)!
On page 162 it says,
"DVD Player - The products such as the following may not be playable on your DVD player:
SACD
Copy-protected CD
CD-R (CD Recordable)
CD-RW (CD ReWritable)
CD-ROM
DVD-R
DVD+R
DVD-RW
DVD+RW
DVD-ROM
DVD-RAM"
Seems to be hit or miss on my DVD+Rs. Sometimes it will play one; other times it won't play the same one.
I guess "may not" is the key phrase here.
