Hi! i have a toshiba DVD player, and its not marked to be able to play CD-R(W)
How ever when i use Verbatim's CD-Rs it plays perfectly. and when i use TDK or somethin' else its says "please check disc"
I've tried Memorex and Verbatim CD-RWs and both worked...
Anyone know of more of these scenario's?
(this is a stand-alone dvd player on my TV)

If it is not marked to play CD-R(W) then it's possible that it will play a few brands of CD-R(W)

Decreasing the write speed may improve your chances.

I have a toshiba dvd player and it has the same problems. If you use those cd-rs that are like silver/gold ish colour(generic stuff most of the time) then the toshiba won't play it, but if you use the light blue or verbatims, then they work fine, i've tried up to 16x with no skips for vcd (using ty though)

The goldish/silverish discs are ones with phthalocyanine layer. The light blue discs are ones with cyanine layer and Mitsubishi/Verbatim uses their own dark blue azo layer.

The discs that were known to work well with non-compatible DVD players were:

Ritek type 1
Gigastorage
Princo
Postech
Vivastar

Sadly, Vivastar are no longer in business, Princo were forced to stop production by Philips for not paying their bills, Gigastorage were bought by Ritek, Ritek don't use the good formulation any more (you can get 40x-compatible type 1/2 but it isn't as compatible as the old type H) and I haven't seen Postech in a couple of years now.

D'oh :(

Not in my experience, no.

They're *better* than phthalocyanine discs in these kinds of players, but not much.

Strange I know, but true...
