I have tested the Verbatim Hi-Speed CD-RW (8x-10x) and it works! I have noticed that if you can see your self on the writing area of the cd then it will work. Take a look at the vitistar, then take a look at Verbatim. This sounds dumb maybe but true, it you see a cloudy picture of your self on the writing of the cd it won't work in this player. Only a nice mirror image on the cd and it will work.

plays FWS DVD-R burned with nero 5.5.9.14 no problem

does not play any DVD-RW burned with either nero or dvd-decryptor

had playback problems after 1yr (almost immediately that the warantee ran out). Fixed it by dismantling and cleaning/blowing any dust that might have accumulated in the laser unit. Seems ok now

Excellent ergonomics. The unit responds to remote commands when off. The eject/load mechanism works while the player is off. This makes remote macros easy.

Won't play CD-R media, (Memorex, and cheapies)

Plays DVD-R and DVD-RW. However, I encountered skipping problems on 2nd half of disc.

Good for what it is, but CD-R and CD-RW discs that I've burned will not play. Also, VCD's that I've burned on CD-R discs will not play.

CD-RW: tried many brands; the only that plays fine is TDK CD-RW 650 4x (takes a time loading and sometimes freeze, buts actually works)
700 MB CD-RW wont playing.

CD-R: no brands worked. I tried Vivastar 80 min and it loads and plays but many many buggy picture.

I confirm about VCD and SVCD.

bye.

Same problem as first guy...CD-r does not work-says no disk....when on a cd-rw it says load for about 5 minutes and it tries to play the movie but all screwed up...anyone get this to work let me know...I have tried to burn a cd-rw about 5 different ways so I am sure I am doing the software part correctly. I don't know where to find the vivastar cdr but I will look for them and take that guys suggestion and see if it works. If anyone got this hitachi dvd to work please email me at boydp182@yahoo.com...Thanks

I tried a TDK CDRW (650 MB), both with a VCD file in 1.1 and 2.0.

The player tries to read the disk, but keeps loading ...

So I don't get a "No Disc" message, but I can't play the content either, since the player keeps showing "Load".

I've tried Traxdata Gold CDR and Plextor Silver for VCD and they don't work, player keeps saying 'No Disk'.

Plextor CDR/W works fine. I'll be trying other CDR/W media shortly. Probably cheapo PCWORLD stuff to see if they will work.
