    Does Size Matter?

    How's that for a provocative title?? Anyway, my problem is that the latest batch of dvd's won't play on my player in the house. I originally had Memorex dvd's and then bought a package of Phillips (I thought they were the originator of the cd and should be good quality). The Phillips won't play on my Panasonic dvd player, whereas the Memorex would. The instruction book says it supports dvd- which is what i'm using. The only thing i can see is that the Phillips dvd's are thinner than the Memorex ones (here's where the size title is relevant). Could that/ Would that make a difference? The player in my car plays the Phillips ones just fine. I really don't want to discard either the dvd's (I bought a 100 pack) and don't want to purchase a new machine either. Any suggestions?

      You may want to try verbatims, or see the golden rules of burning in my sig.
      I hope that helps you.

          Verbatims, and 4x burning did the trick for me, but like photoangel says read the rules that helped the most
