Hi xkrazzy, welcome to aD,

Expect problems with players over 1 and ½ yrs old. The discs have changed and though we can upgrade out burners by download new Firmware we cannot do the same with standalones.

Some helpful hints:

1. Burn decent quality media.

2. Burn at 4X to eliminate as many small errors as you can.

3. Dial back your DVD Target size from DVD-5 to ?Custom? 4360MB to keep away from the disc?s edge.

4. Use 4X, -R rated discs. They have been around for a long time and most standalone players can ?see? them.

5. BIG TIP HERE: If you have a burner that can change your BitType GREAT ! Buy good quality 4X, +R media and switch the format from DVD R to DVD ROM.

REASON: A DVD ROM can be seen by more standalone players than any other format out there, bar none !

Always consider buying a new player. A CyberHome costs about $39.99 and will play a cheese pizza J

Hope that helps,

Pete
