According to VideoHelp it will do +/-R and +/-RW. Are you saying that the DVD backups you have used to play just fine but not anymore? Are these scratched in any way?

yes..the dvd used to play in all my players but the same media dont play anymore...it plays at times and most of the time it dont. the black media is not even scratched..i mean with 3 same dvd players and the media plays in 1 player and the other 2 shows as disc error or No disc...cannot understand that though...

You may want to aquire a DVD/CD Player cleaner. The one I have has a brush on it. I put it in, it is seen as a music CD, and I play track 1, which has the brush. After about 20 seconds it stops with an error, but the lens is now clean. Give this a try and let us know if that worked or not.

Yes, what formats will a DVD player play? If i download a movie from Morpeus or Limewire, and burn them to a DVD, will they play in my dvd player or playstation 2 ????
