Hmmmm, well have you tried using both DVD+R and DVD-Rs? Many DVD players will play either one or the other. From my experience, most will accept the +R DVDs, as my Sony does, but I have friends who can only use -R DVDs in their players. If you haven't tried that it's worth a shot. Otherwise, a progressive scanning DVD player such as a Cyberhome can be bought at Circuit City or Best Buy for about 30-40$.
Plays any region, any brand, DVD, VCD, SVCD etc.
