HELP - 8mm to DVD via DVR yields audio but no video
Please indulge a Newbie to this Forum (and DVD burning in general). Recently purchased a Panasonic DMR-ES10s DVR from Best Buy to facilitate transfering old 8mm home movies to DVD. Process goes very smooth, and am able to view finished product on DVR no problems. DVD-RW, DVD-R & DVD+R all finalize without a glitch. I thought I was all set, and then, on a whim, tried playing one of the DVDs back on our Daewoo DVDP480 player. I get the Daewoo background screen on the TV and audio, but no video! The Daewoo indicates that it has a valid DVD video in it and begins playback. The player plays commercially made movies fine, so I'm inclined to think that it's not a setup or wiring issue. I've tried all three of the above mentioned formats, and they all do the same thing. Thinking that it might be the 8mm screwing something up, I also taped off the air. That too gives audio, but no video. It does not matter which of the four recording modes I use (SP, LP, EP & FR). This is driving me nuts!!! The whole idea of xferring to DVD was to get away from needing a single playback device! I have not had a chance to try a different player - I guess that's next, but I thought that the Daewoo was very forgiving and could play just about anything! By the way, the DVDs also play perfectly on our PC's DVD-ROM drive. Anyone heard of anything like this? My sanity would greatly appreciate it.....

FYI - don't know if anyone saw this thread...
Tried the newly minted DVD-R's and DVD-RW's at my son's house today on his DVD player and they work fine..soooo, looks like the problem is with the Daewoo. Good luck with your forum. Jerry.
