    I posted a message earlier that my DVD+r's would not play in my mintek dvd player, but I have also found out that they will not play in any DVD-ROM drive but my own!?! They do play in PS2's and Xbox's tho??? Any ideas??

    Use DVD-R , it's a much more popular format.

    you will either have to splash out for a new dvd writer -r or a dual format like the sony or buy a new dvd player that will read +r formats, i pursume you are just doing backups cheaper route would be buying a new player, i have a cyberhome 505 it plays +rs fine but i must adimt the -r format is the more compatible format around, have a look round on the net at what players can play +r, +rws might help as weill.
