DVD Players that
Play Some Types of DVD-Rs
Not all DVD Players are capable of playing or reading a DVD-R format recordable
DVD disc. And, those that can play at least one kind or brand of DVD-R may not
be able to play other brands, regardless of quality.
75% Can...
A glance at the list below will show you that about 75% of today's DVD players
can handle DVD-Rs. As you may know, the store-bought DVD Movies and Games you
have were pressed mechanically, like old-fashioned vinyl LP records. By
contrast, your recordable DVD-R discs are "burned" with a laser, and
have a slightly different format than the retail DVDs you buy or rent. Playing
your burned DVD-Rs requires an extra feature or two that MOST but not all
players have. Below is our current detailed list, of existing DVD player brands
and models with an evaluation of their ability to play DVD-R.
