Most of the newer Dvd players will play Dvd-R Media now. Just look and try to find one with the features you want at the right price. I have 2 players from Apex and 1 Toshiba, they all work great and have never had a problem playing anything. You can also check here to see what others have tried with Verbatim media. http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers _X_X_X_X_X_[small]Toshiba Satellite P4 HT 2.6 Ghz 1 Gb PC2700 DDR SDRAM NEC Nd-1300a External 0 to Burn in 22 Minutes One by one the penguins are stealing my sanity! <(C:}[/small]
Thanks bud. The reason I was asking, is that my set top "says" it will play DVD-R's, then backs up the reasons it won't with "depends on how the media was burned"...well, the blasted thing won't play any DVD-R, and there's only so many ways to burn DVD's....and with the guru's help here, I've tried just about all of them.
