MY FRIEND BOUGHT THE PHILIPS DVD RECORDER 880 .
WHEN HE COPIES A FILM TO DVD+RW OR DVD+R HE CAN NOT GET IT TO PLAY ON OTHER STAND ALONE PLAYERS.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF HE IS DOING SOMETHING WRONG OR IS IT THAT THEY JUST WON'T PLAY ON OTHER MACHINES.

I'M THINKING OF BUYING THE SAMSUNG DVD HDD40 RECORDER BUT CAN'T FIND ENOUGH INFO ABOUT IT .

CAN ANYONE SUGGEST A DVD RECORDER AND THEIR REASONS FOR IT .



THANKS RICKY

Mr. Salty

Please, for the love of god, turn your capslock off.

What standalone players is he trying to play the DVD+R and DVD+RW disks on? Is he sure they're compatible with those disks?

he tried his copies on my pioneer 444 and they did not work , could it be the type of blank dvd disc he is trying .

what type of blank dvd do you use .

thanks ricky.........

DVD+RWs will play in virtually any DVD player made since 2000. DVD+R will be a little less compatible but anything made in the last year or so should be OK.

Is he trying to play them in DVD players from 1997-1999? That will be very hit and miss.

I have both Philips and Panasonic units in my business and the compatibility issue is blown SO out of proportion by everyone.

Well, the 444 should be compatible.

It might be the disks.
