<div class="IPBDescription">Or how the heck can my DVD work</div> Problem : My DVD players (got 2 btw) can't play my brand new Naruto DVDs I bought. It turns out they were DVD-Rs, but they were the right price anyway. So I tried playing, first disk runs ok, buts skips a bit. 2nd disc....completely freezes the DVD player so that I have to restart it. Same case with both players.

So I go back to the store, and they hand me a brand new one, and they showed to me that there isn't anything wrong with it. Played through fine.

So I bring that back home, but when I try, it STILL doesn't work. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

So I need some help here, because I was wondering....do I need to buy anything like a new DVD player or do something to my DVD player to make the thing work?

    Older DVDs don't know how to read the DVD-R, DVD+R and the RW series correctly. I'd suggest you get a new drive then...

    My Toshiba DVD drive reads all perfectly fine. The older Sony TV DVD component doesn't read the writable ones, while the other, newer component does.

    Somehow I knew that this would happen....now the problem is convincing my parents to buy a new one (how much are those anyway?)

    DVD drives have gone dooooooown, so a normal CD drive is just a tad cheaper basically. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I am now going to shamelessly promote Radioshack's DVD players.

    Cyberhome (small portable, progressive scan (you need it for the DVD-R/DVD+R)) 49.99

    RCA (progressive scan again) 69.99 (has fiber optic audio output reason for difference in price).


    [/end store promotion] hehe

    And if you ask one of the employees what progressive scan does, he'll stop to think for a moment and then say "This one costs $49.99!"

    Naruto DVDs? Bootlegs I say!
    Yaar, check your DVD-R compatability, and the region of the DVDs compared to the region of your player.
