[MacDV] Re: DVD Player not playing

[Kochkodin]

You are correct Sir!!! (as Ed McMahon used to say to the Great 
Karnac)!!!   Using an imac SE 400 and/or Pismo 400 w/a LaCie DVD 
burner...+R burns will not play in either of these systems, but will 
play in any other systems  (An Apex desktop, a Phillips desktop 
player/burner and a Polaroid compact 7" player)...The +R's are ejected 
from both computers..Along w/+RW's, they will mount in the LaCie but 
will not run at all....I got a pack of -R's yesterday to try and they 
will work in the computers....The drawback that I have found is that the 
-R's are only 1X vs the 2x of the  +R's...The DVD's are all 
Verbatim's...No coasters after burning a bunch succssfully...Sam's club 
sells the +R's for about $1.50 each and the -R's for about $1.90.... I 
think WalMart's price for 3 -R's is about $10.00
