Best DVD -Player- for Burned DVD Media?

Posted by Cliff on from the for-playing-your-own-movies dept.

multiOSfreak asks: "I recently picked up a DVD-R/RW drive on the cheap, and I was wondering which component DVD players have the widest latitude of compatibility with 'burned' DVD media. I have a Toshiba SD-1600, and it's very picky about the media (so far, it will only play Princo and Verbatim DataLife +). I've looked at a ton of sites on DVD players, but none of them gave comments from actual users on how well they worked, firmware upgrades, etc. Epinions is okay, but the level of knowledge of most reviewers is nowhere near that of the Slashdot community." What DVD Players are the least picky about the media they use?

    Have you tried the DVD Player compatibility list? It will let you search for players that support whatever type of media and formats you want. I don't know how you could have checked "a ton of sites" and missed this.

    Anyway, go Here.
