My project won't play in my regular DVD machine

[Chuck Engels]

Hi Everyone,

I just put the -R DVD into the player in question and it loaded just fine. I guess it's the hardware/media issue afterall.

See Steve, -R is still a bit more compatible even these days

...I've been thinking of getting a blue ray player.........

Before you take that leap, do have a look at some of the media streamers/network media tank technology. There are interesting products from Western Digital, Popcorn Hour and HDX amongst others.

I have a Panasonic BD player but I hardly ever use it in comparison to my HDX1000 which plays streamed HD .mkv files brilliantly. Have a look at this site for low cost films

Also, one of the couples I would like to share a copy of the DVD with, live in London. I assume that they use PAL technology.

As Steve says, all European DVD players should play NTSC without a problem but if you have any doubts follow Peru's suggestion.
