Cheaper DVD roms use a visible red laser, CDroms are made to be read with an infra red laser. This can cause reading problems with CDRs in DVDroms.

It's not a matter of cheap DVD players (I am assuming you mean a set-top DVD player, not DVD-ROM computer drive). Many if not most set-top DVD players (especially older ones) have problems playing CD-R's. Even DVD players that claim to be compatible with CD-R's can't always play them reliably. However, every computer DVD-ROM drive should be able to read CD-R's.

Use CDRWs if you want your Standalone/set-top DVD to read it. CDRWs adhere to a higher standard and you'll have a MUCH BETTER chance of it working.

I have the Panasonic A310, won't read a CDR to save it's life. NO PROBLEMS with CDRWs though.

<< CDRWs adhere to a higher standard >>

No they don't and even if they did it has nothing to do with it. A CD-RW's surface reflectivity is closer to that used by DVD's. CD-R's have lower reflectivity than pressed commercial CD's, and that combined with different laser wavelengths used to read DVD's and CD's yields the proble we have been discussing.

Some CD players can't even play a CDRW because instead of the laser burning holes in the dye, it changes it's crystalline structure in CDRW. What I meant by cheaper DVD drives was that some higher quality DVD drives use a separate laser for CD's. Of course this is one year old news and may have changed by now.

You might get different results with different media.

My Pioneer Elite DV-09 DVD player isn't supposed to play CD-R at all, but it will (usually) play green-dye Samsungs with no undue problems.

Heheh...

My yamaha 4x2x6x burner burns and reads everything..

My DVD drive reads everyting.....


Guess it pays to get good equipment in the first place.

*yeah yeah..I&quot;m being a jerk, but I'm sick so give me a break* 🙁

<< Guess it pays to get good equipment in the first place. >>

Yeah, it does. But I'm sure your burner can't read DVD's! And I would hope that even the cheapest CD/RW drive would read CD's, CD-R's, and CD-RW's, since that's what it's made to do!! And even the trashiest computer DVD drive will read DVD's, CD's, CD-R's, and CD-RW's. That's the rules.

But it's not the rule for set-top DVD players, which is what tydas was asking about.

So your statement, while true, is not valid for the reason you think!

It's a matter of wavelength of the laser pickup. Most computer DVD-ROM's have dual pickups, while most stand alone DVD players don't.
