i recently bought some verbatim dvd-rw but after recording they wont play on my phillips dvp3020 have used lots of different brand rw disks witout a problem but these just wont work have a sony dvd rw-g120a with latest firmware
The manual for your Philips player is here - http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/d/dvp3020_75/dvp3020_75_pss_aen.pdf Extract from the manual - So.. it states that +RW are supported and seems to suggests that some -RW might be supported. It seems those particular Verbatim -RW won't work.
well as the disks cost more than the player and the player is two years old it kind of makes sense i think
Many dvd players do not support any rw disks at all... Because DVD Forum don't actually recognise (and never will) the rewritable format. It's down to individual manufacturers.. -rw is a very unusual format anyway. I don't see many players which do support it.
Yeah i deliberately chose a recorder that would use RW disks, though these days i don't use it very much (an expensive Panasonic) due to lack of a rooftop or wall-sided tv aerial (i'm certainly not brave/stupid enough to climb up the side of a Victorian house, no parachute!) though it's mostly due to there not being that much on that's worthy of recording.
