robg64, Older DVD players usually can't play a RW disc. Check with your owners manual and see what it likes to eat, -R, +R or both. If you haven't burned the disc yet, you could change it's type BUT if it has something on it, It's not gonna fly ~ ~> If you're going to play RW discs then buy a cheap Cyber-Home player (about $39.00), they'll play anything. You might threaten it with physical harm but I don't think it will listen to you - Happy New Year, Pete (Incase you didn't understand, the answer to your question is, Nope.)
