Will it play rw, +r and -r dvd's?

Since my earlier response about it not playing DVD-RW's in VR format I have tried it on DVD+RW's, and also on DVD-R's. It played the +RW's and the -R's just fine. I do not have any +R's nor any -RW's in video format, but it is probably only the -RW's in VR format that it will not play.

I don't know that answer, I also did not keep this device long. I only had it for a couple of hours before returning it. I was not happy with it at all. Hope that helps.

It cannot read my DVD-RW's in VR format. I cannot comment on the +R, +RW, -R or the -RW's in video format right now because I have not tried them.

It played Mp3 and I never tried a DVD+-R, The problem was it did not play some new Blu-Rays and kept an annoying wi-fi signal flashing on the screen at all times during movies. I returned it to the store and purchased a Samsung and it works fine.

I purchased this a replacement dvd rom drive for my old laptop. This drive can read DVD -R/RW but does not record them. Hope this helps.

I would say yes. i got a pack of 2 dvd-r disks at the 99cts. store to experiment. it worked. Try it, that's how you find stuff out. dvd-rw - yes

Yes, this laptop comes with Multiformat DVDRW/CD-RW drive. You can play CD or DVD.

Just to confirm. So your P2500 does play movies with dvd+r format even home movies?

As long you have the correct codecs for your OS, it should play. It has nothing to do with the dvd or blu ray drive, rather the player (software apps) playing the VLC files.

They are probably identical except for packaging color. You may need to see if your equipment requires +R or -R discs if it is older, but the DVD-R is most common.

Yes it will play both dvd and blu ray disc's but it can not burn blu ray disc's

The Manual officially says no to DVD+Rs, but I have some DVD+Rs that I have burned and I am able to play them without any Errors. Do not have DVD-Rs to test. I used Power2Go to burn the DVDsBut generally I found that my upscaled DVDs & DVD+Rs from BDP-1590 do not look very well on my LCD compared to my previous 3 yr old Philips DVD recorder.

Mine will play most dvd's. I've noticed that it will not play foreign made dvd's regardless of whether they are region 1 or region 0.

Yes If the DVD Player has Video RCA video Output (Yellow connector) or SVGA connector. The speakers (RCA red and white) are low power so the sound will not be so good. Beware It's 800x600 resolution so the image will not be the standard 1080p

You can, as long as you are using rewritable DVDs - those are the DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs. I use DVD+RW for TV programs and it works great - the other thing I like is that DVD+RW is the only disc format that will play in other units without needing to be finalized. When you load the recorded DVD+RW into another player it will start playing from the beginning and you can just skip ahead to the desired point.When you are ready to reuse the disc, just load it into the recorder and you can either reformat it or delete the titles to free up space (I just delete the titles on mine). Then you're all set to record again on that same disc.Good luck - hope this helps! You can, as long as you are using rewritable DVDs - those are the DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs.

The -R format is an older format "pre-2003" or so. I purchased the discs 6 months ago and they have worked with our -R format devices. I'm not an expert but as far as I know - yes these work with -R DVD devices.

Sorry, I'm not too knowledge but this machine supports DVD + & -R, DVD +RW & -RW, DVD + & -R Dual Layer, CD-R, CD-RW blank media standards & others.I like to buy Sony DVD -R. However, if you buy DVD +R you can skip through scenes and not have to fast forward.Hope that helps.
