DVD+R and DVD+RW Will these play: I have many videos etc in this format and wonder if any of you have had experience playing DVD+R or DVD+RW Disks on this machine?

I have the same experience as you. the manual clearly states that it will not play DVD+R or DVD+RW, but I have had no problem playing either.

The player will support audio cd's or audio cd's made from windows media player, but the player doesn't support DATA cd's made from windows. I believe your dvd+r was a data cd, or data music file. It will play the photos ok, which are jpeg files and are generic to all players/computers, though. If you could create jpeg files with an AUDIO cd, I believe it would work.

I have some European dvds. I need to know whether this product will play them. (European dvds are in a different format from American dvds.)

If you have them on a DVD and want to copy it this would work either on +/- Not sure how the RW format would perform.

Yes. Supported disk formats are: BD, BD-R,BD-RE, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, DVD-VIDEO, VCD, CD, CD-R/RW. Video Formats: H-264, VC1, MPEG 1/2/4. Audio formats: Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, MP3. Photo Formats: JPEG, PNG, GIF. I just quoted the specs in the manual; it is a very versatile player. But I believe I read a review somewhere stating there was an old and a new VCD format; this unit will play the new VCD format but perhaps it may not play the old VCD format.

Huh! Figure! I never expected it to work in such a dated player, but indeed my dozen or so JPG's burned on to a CDRW (just to answer your question) did in fact display on this unit. That's the only format I tested as it's the only one you mentioned.

Something is wrong in the DVD-recording world. I have two recording units, a Toshiba DVR670KU and a Magnavox ZV427MG9 A that I use to record favorite programs on DVD+RWs. However, not all the brands of +RWs will work on the two machines. So far these two machines will only use Maxell and Sony +RW whereas Memorex+RW will not format on these two machines. Therefore, I suggest people should test each type of DVD before buying a given type of DVD.

Be sure you have a recorder that can use +R media first. Some recorders only work with -R media. Also be sure you DVD recorder can burn to Double Layer discs (the DL in the name.) These hold as much as a standard DVD you might rent or buy from the store, so I typically would not put HD content on them anyway. One of these discs recorded with content will play just fine in MOST standard DVD players. I say MOST as occasionally I have found a player that does not like to play -R or +R home recorded material. Hope this helps.

Are they cd's or dvd's? Either one should play. I'm using Windows XP and have used the drive for both.

Does the DVD drive need to be formatted specifically for Linux? The ones I have seen say they will for Windows, but I don't see anything about them working with Linux.

JV - Thanks a lot! I could not figure out why my dvds wouldn't play on other dvd players. There is nothing to clue you in that you need to finalize them.

I asked this question in another discussion but this discussion may be more appropriate:Which DVD format is best for recording on the Toshiba D-R400?DVD-R; DVD+R; DVD-RW; or DVD+RW? If there is info in the manual I don't see it.Thank you.

Thanks, Bishop, for your reply. I liked your last statement (very funny!). A couple of hours after i went out to get this model at Best Buy (i just couldn't wait!), a friend showed me the all-region equivalent (also from Pioneer) featured on this same Amazon site! Well, at least they claim it's all region, but seems some customers have had to get guarantees from the supplier that the unit will indeed play all types of discs. A bit confusing. ;)
