| CDR or CDRW? some computer CD drives won'''t even play CDRW, but they
| play CDR ok.
I said CD-RW.
The problem with CD-R in DVD-Video decks is that the media is invisible to
the read lasers used in DVD-Video playback mechanisms. DVD-Video decks
that can read CD-R media have a second laser mechanism just for this purpose.
CD-RW requires more power than CD-R to read. Many portable CD players
cannot read CD-RW. Same goes for some very old, first generation CD-ROM
drives, and apparantly a small number of DVD-Video decks. Again, as I
said, the fault is the deck, not the media.
