DVD Player Information
Will the DVD Play? 98% Can...
A glance at the list below will show you that about 98% of today's DVD players
can handle DVD-Rs. As you may know, the store-bought DVD Movies and Games you
have were pressed mechanically, like old-fashioned vinyl LP records. By
contrast, your recordable DVD-R discs are "burned" with a laser, and have a
slightly different format than the retail DVDs you buy or rent. Playing your
burned DVD-Rs requires an extra feature or two that almost all newer players
have but not all of the older players have(1999 or older). Below is our current
detailed list, of existing DVD player brands and models with an evaluation of
their ability to play your DVD-R recordings.
Little Differences Matter...
There are subtle differences between the dye formulas and top reflectors used
among DVD-R manufacturers, as each company struggles to find a "middle ground"
that straddles the wide variations in laser types and logic circuitry used by
DVD players and burners. Even though two general purpose type DVD-Rs may be well
made, they may have been made to slightly different standards by their makers;
each deciding to be more or less compatible with certain brands of players and
burners.
How Do We Know?
This information has been obtained from many sources, including our own tests.
It is constantly updated. While we cannot absolutely guarantee that your
recordings will play on each of these players, we hope that this partial list of
over 200 different DVD players will help you see the present state of the DVD
player market.
No Guarantees...
Remember that this list is merely a guide to DVD-R and
DVD player compatibility. It does not, nor cannot guarantee that any one DVD-R
disc is compatible with a particular player.
