Not necessarily.  A DVD+RW disk is not made of the same stuff as a
commercial DVD.  The manufacturers have to purposely engineer the player
to be able to play back disks like that.  Read the manual for the player
and see if it mentions anywhere that it can play back DVD+RWs.

If it should, make sure you finalise the DVD-RW (or it won't :-)

I don't think that is an option for an "RW" disk, only an "R" (this is
certainly true with my +RW recorder, I assume the same holds for -RW).

At least on the Panasonic DVD recorder we have (DMR-ES15) there is a 
finalize option for DVD-RW but not DVD+RW. If you don't finalize the 
DVD-RW my computer DVD drives will refuse to access it: not even being 
able to see any of the files.

You live and learn......
But then here's what I've found.
In order for a stand alone player to read a RW disk it must be written as a 
finalised data disk.
They mostly support reading from RWs, but only as a DVD+/- R. (Or the four 
that I've had do/did anyway they couldn't see RWs otherwise).
Even my RW recorder couldn't see computer generated RWs unless written in 
that way, altough it can see its own part written RWs.

Although - Being English I tend to finaliSe mine ;-)

I don't think that is an option for an "RW" disk, only an "R" (this is
certainly true with my +RW recorder, I assume the same holds for -RW).

At least on the Panasonic DVD recorder we have (DMR-ES15) there is a 
finalize option for DVD-RW but not DVD+RW. If you don't finalize the 
DVD-RW my computer DVD drives will refuse to access it: not even being 
able to see any of the files.

You live and learn......
But then here's what I've found.
In order for a stand alone player to read a RW disk it must be written as a 
finalised data disk.
They mostly support reading from RWs, but only as a DVD+/- R. (Or the four 
that I've had do/did anyway they couldn't see RWs otherwise).
Even my RW recorder couldn't see computer generated RWs unless written in 
that way, altough it can see its own part written RWs.

Although - Being English I tend to finaliSe mine ;-)

Not necessarily.  A DVD+RW disk is not made of the same stuff as a
commercial DVD.  The manufacturers have to purposely engineer the player
to be able to play back disks like that.  Read the manual for the player
and see if it mentions anywhere that it can play back DVD+RWs.

Not necessarily.  A DVD+RW disk is not made of the same stuff as a
commercial DVD.  The manufacturers have to purposely engineer the player
to be able to play back disks like that.  Read the manual for the player
and see if it mentions anywhere that it can play back DVD+RWs.

If it should, make sure you finalise the DVD-RW (or it won't :-)

I don't think that is an option for an "RW" disk, only an "R" (this is
certainly true with my +RW recorder, I assume the same holds for -RW).

At least on the Panasonic DVD recorder we have (DMR-ES15) there is a 
finalize option for DVD-RW but not DVD+RW. If you don't finalize the 
DVD-RW my computer DVD drives will refuse to access it: not even being 
able to see any of the files.

There's no such things as finalization for DVD+RW.

You live and learn......
But then here's what I've found.
In order for a stand alone player to read a RW disk it must be written as a 
finalised data disk.
They mostly support reading from RWs, but only as a DVD+/- R. (Or the four 
that I've had do/did anyway they couldn't see RWs otherwise).
Even my RW recorder couldn't see computer generated RWs unless written in 
that way, altough it can see its own part written RWs.

Although - Being English I tend to finaliSe mine ;-)
