Is there anyway to play burnt(legally of course) DVD's in our factory DVD unit?

Ya can't just copy a DVD to another DVD. It won't play. It has to be decrypted and like Pat said, made into ISO then burnt. Not that I do this :D but there are pleanty of programs that you can get off the internet that are capable of doing this so you can make BACK UP COPIES OF YOUR OWN LIBRARY;)

I used to have a program called DVDxcopy? for making backup discs for the kids in the truck, since they trash them. But even then, not all of them would work.

I'm sure there is. I mentioned another forum because I work with a guy that does tons of that stuff and hes on a forum for it and he showed me once. The stuff was way to complex for me but since your a veteran you should be able to make some sence of it;):D

Double check DAO and TAO settings on the burn software. DAO is preferred. ALSO, burn at 2x. I know it takes more time, but there will be less CRC errors and you have a better chance of the disc working.

NO NO Ben, the over head unit that is between the front seats and rear bench. I tried burning a few DVDs and the player which I believe is a Panasonic wont recognize any of my burnt DVD's
