What's the make and model of your burner? If it booktypes for most drive Nero will usually automatically booktype the +R.
It will booktype them to DVD-Rom which is the most compatible format w/ the different players.

Your drive is a toshiba/samsung (TSST). From what I can it doesn't booktype. Here's link on some of the specs from videohelp - link.
If it booktyped you'd see 'bitsetting' listed under 'Connection
Buffer, Bit'

Buying the new player should eliminate the need to booktype. Most players in the past few years support both formats.
So for the ones that don't stick w/ -R media. I'd also stick w/ Taiyo Yuden then the HP media. TY is more compatible then HP since HP uses different manufacturers.

Oh and when you booktype you set it to DVD-Rom not DVD-R.
Even though videoehlp doesn't list this drive as able to booktype try ImgBurn again but set it to DVD-Rom - only +R media can be booktyped.
Nero set at automatic is fine - that's means if you're using +R media and the drive can booktype - Nero will automatically booktype to dvd-rom.

Vision will automatically booktype it too if the drive supports it.

Yeah I don't think TY makes lightscribe media - for printable - just the inkjet ones.

Do the ones burned with Vision play in other players - just not the ps2?
I know my ps2 is very picky w/ media.
