hi,
i have a few of the newer "upconversion HD" dvd players myself and from my OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, i can say they are VERY picky with quality media. i think that your other somewhat older dvd players have no problem with the legacy because they are not as picky. for example, i have a samsung upconversion dvd player, which will ONLY play the taiyo yudens that i use, if i use any other media...such as ritek, prodisc, or even verbatim about 80% play, 20% do not (which i have only the MCC003 media id), the disc will skip. i think that if you use different high quality media, such as TY (100% compatible) or the verbatims (80% playable from my experience), you should be ok. as i can safely say i have never used a Legacy disc, so , i can not really comment as to whether or not it would ever work on my HD upconversion player or not, but, i think your question should be to research the media moreso than that new dvd player your roommate has. hope that helps you out a bit, i have had a similar experience w/ the newer dvd players out there and that is my conclusion, it is completely media based. have a good one
