Can your codefree DVD players play CD-Rs or CD-RWs?

Codefree DVD Player Guide
A CD-R and CD-RW is basically a recordable CD. However, whether or not a DVD player capable of playing a regular CD can play a CD-R depends on the quality of the CD-R. Some CD-Rs recorded on higher quality CD burners can play perfectly. However, if you used a lower quality CD burner to make your CD-Rs and CD-RWs, then there's a chance they won't play. Also, a CD-RW (as opposed to a CD-R) have lower light reflection, so CD-RWs are even less likely to play.

What's the difference between CD-Rs and CD-RWs?

CD, CD-R, and SACD: Frequently Asked Questions
All of our CD recorders work with either blank CD-Rs or CD-RWs, so you won't be locked into exclusive use of one or the other by your hardware. Choosing between the two formats really comes down to your intended uses for the discs you're burning. Although the "R" in CD-R stands for "recordable," this is a "write-once" technology. That means anything you record on a CD-R is permanent.

Will CD-i play Picture-CD?

The New International CD-i Association
There are two completely different systems available currently, both of which are called Picture-CD. One is defined by Kodak, the other one by Corel and Adaptec. A Kodak Picture-CD is used in the same way as a Photo-CD, but the file format is different, and an application for Microsoft Windows instead of CD-i is stored on the CD. As a result, a Kodak Picture-CD is not compatible with Photo-CD players or CD-i players. However, there are plans to make Kodak Picture-CD compatible with Video-CD 2.

Will any CD-i disc play on any CD-i player?

The New International CD-i Association
In general: yes. This is one of the beauties of the CD-i system. Since both disc and playback device are extensively specified, every CD-i disc is compatible with every CD-i player, in contrast to a CD-ROM disc, of which you never know wether it will play on your PC-configuration. Look for the CD-i logo on both disc and player to ensure compatibility.

I have a Video-CD. Why won't it play on my CD-i?

Video-CD on CD-i / The New International CD-i Association
It is known that several so-called Video-CDs exist that do not play on a CD-i player. This is mainly the case with certain titles from China and the Far East. Mostly, this is due to the absence of a CD-i application on the disc. As mentioned before, such a CD-i application is a mandatory requirement for a Video-CD, and a disc that does not include it violates the license terms (but this is often the case with illegal discs for which no license fees were payed in the first place!).

Will CD-i play Super Video-CD?

The New International CD-i Association
Super Video-CD is an extension to the Video-CD specification, set up by the original Video-CD licensees (Philips, Sony, JVC and Matsushita) in 1999. Super Video-CD uses DVD-quality MPEG-2 video on a standard CD which runs at variable bit rates up to double speed (2.8 kbps). This allows for 35 to 70 minutes of high quality video on a regular CD.

The New International CD-i Association
Super Audio-CD was introduced by Philips and Sony in 1999 as the succesor of the popular Audio-CD. The system uses a new audio encoding technique called DSD (Direct Stream Digital), which comes way much closer to the original analogue audio quaility than PCM which is used for regular Audio-CDs. To store the large amounts of data that are needed for DSD, a Super Audio-CD uses a DVD-like high density disc.

My DVD/CD doesn't play, or plays intermittently. What should I do?

Frequently Asked Questions
Problem 1: Dirt, fingerprints or scratches on the playback side of the DVD/CD is causing problems. DVD's are more susceptible to this problem than CD's. Solution: If a CD or DVD isn't playing back right, first look at the shiny surface. Are there fingerprints, scratches (for DVD's, it can only take one decent scratch to stop it from working) or dirt on the surface? This is often the case if some parts of the DVD/CD work, and some parts don't. If so, then first try cleaning it.
