Up to what year did they not make dvd players that play backup dvd movies, Beacuse i tryed to play some of my backed up movies on my fathers downstaires dvd player and it wont read them but he tells me its a pretty old. Now my ? is what year did they start making dvd players with like mp3 and windows on them. I sometimes give my friends movies to watch and im now in consant fear that their dvd players wont work with the movie. So if someone could help me out thanks.

Hi Dindi304

Bitsetting +R's to DVD-Rom will solve your worries about compatibility issues. You must have a dvd burner that is capable of bitsetting (booktyping). Make sure you use reputable media, ie: TY's, Verbatim, and other recommended media.

I recently came across this article which explains bitsetting. Some things have changed since 2004. TDK is no longer a recommended media and burning speeds have increased, but the gist of bitsetting is there.

Here's the how to:

I have alway used bitsetting and can attest to the merits. My main player is 6 years old and I use it for testing. If it plays on it, it will play on all others, whether family or taking over to friends.
