And I replied: I have a Philips consumer DVD recorder which uses DVD+R and DVD+RW. When finalised the DVD+R discs will play happily in my iMAC. The DVD+RW will also play happily as they are finalised automatically in the recorder. Likewise DVD-R discs burned on my iMAC using iDVD will play happily in the Philips. Alan
