Un-readable on SOME DVD Players?

[Theodore Parker]

Recently some, not all, back-up recordings are unloadable on a two-year old Sony HD DVD player -- yet the same disk is always perfectly readable on my >5-year old GE machine. Were it the Sony player shouldn't all recent back-ups be unreadable??? Strange.

Does anyone have any thoughts to point me towards correction of this frustration? Perhaps there has been a software change, to either Clone DVD or AnyDVD, to account for this weird glitch?

Sounds like an incompatability between your choice of disc(s) and player. Some brands will play happily in one player, but not in another.

Taiyo Yudens (+R) play in my PS2, but not in my Daewoo. Verbatims (+R) play in both.

You might be right. I use Maxell DVD-R, which have always performed well but, now that you mention it, I did open a new batch around the time this problem began? I can give a different batch a try. Thanks for the tip.`

Quite possibly the Maxells. I've had poor experiences. You can't go wrong with Verbatims. I rather spend a few cent more / blank and have a WORKING back-up when time comes to use it..

I found something much worse than Memorex: TDK. Either CD's or DVD's, I have never had so many bad discs in the past 9-10 years as these TDK wonders.

I've not used TDK DVD's, but I've NEVER had a bad TDK Audio/DATA (Metallic) disc.
