Nearly all DVD players are DVD-R compatible. Particularly those sold in the last couple of years. You should check your individual model for compatibility before ordering. If you have an older DVD player that is not DVD-R compatible you might want to treat yourself a more modern machine that will accept all formats. They can be bought for under $50.00.

Most newer DVD players will play the discs we create without a problem. We maintain a list of compatible players. If you have any doubt about the ability of your player to play our discs, please contact us and we will check your player against our compatability list.

The new DVDs will be compatible with the vast majority of existing consumer electronics DVD players worldwide. This process requires discussion and testing in addition to the development of a new video specification from the DVD Forum. For example, a study had to be undertaken to confirm the compatibility with existing DVD players. It also takes time to complete physical disc specifications for the new recordable DVD media.

There are several reasons why you may not be able to play a DVD. The following are the most common reasons: a. A compatible DVD decoder is not installed in your computer. In order to play DVDs in Windows, you must purchase and install a DVD decoder. Most PCs already have DVD drives pre-installed. If you do not have a DVD decoder, we recommend to download a registered decoder, see Getting a decoder Please see DVD Requirements for details and trial versions.

Make sure you are using the right type of disc for your player. Some players will only read one of the formats (+ or -) but both, others won't read either. DVD-R is still the most compatible format, especially with older DVD players.

Initially no, because the DVD-A spec was written after the first and second generation of DVD players were already on the market so they are unprepared for the format. The video portion of a DVD-A will play on most players (if the disc is authored with a DVD-V zone) but the audio zone (the hi-res DVD-A portion) will not. Many manufacturers now have universal players on the market that will play DVD-A, DVD-V, and any of the CD formats as well.

All of our DVD's are supplied in a DVD-R format which is the most standard type that DVD players read. If you need it in a DVD+R instead, just let us know and we will supply that format.

While the DVD Movie and Game discs you buy or rent in the stores appear to be "silver" or "gold", they are usually made from aluminum coatings, over a clear layer that has been mechanically pressed with pits or holes to encode the data that the lasers in the DVD players decode into music and video signals. DVD Video discs that are made this way do not require the light sensitive dye layer used in DVD-R discs, and so they appear clear on the bottom, or nearly so. They never have to be "burned".

It's not likely. DVD circuitry is completely different, the pickup laser is a different wavelength, the tracking control is more precise, etc. No hardware upgrades have been announced, and in any case they would probably be more expensive than buying a DVD player to put next to the laserdisc player.
