Help! - DVD-R / +R compatable DVD player

Hi Guys, now I know that this has been touched on before, but I really need to get a true DVD-R / +R compatable DVD player. I`ve tried the Cambridge 57 one (froze - though looking at their website I think it might be DVD+R only) Toshiba 340 (the award winner) zero success with any brand DVD-R - and a Tosh 530, which was good, if a little fussy about the media. Before people tell me that it`s the media, these discs all worked fine in my father in law`s cheap Grundig, and my brothers Marantz 4300 (which you don`t seem to be able to get anymore).

I`d also like MP3 (particularly from DVD) capability and sound`s really important. My budget`s up to about £150.

Any ideas? I`ve tried the normal web forums (afterdark etc) but most of these deal with this issue from a US perspective and recommend wall mart products.

thanks guys

RE: 8X Full-Face-Printable G05 RITEK DVD-R 50 Tub £16-81

Also remember that loads of places offer GO5 Riteks, but some of them are rubbish. I bought 50 ANV from scan, and zero work.

Also, BTW scan didn`t give a monkey`s when I complained.

RE: Toshiba 330 and DVDRs??

thanks Ady, I`ve done a bit more research on some AV forums, and it seems that the Tosh players are good, but temperamental with DVDRs. It appears that tosh owners need to only burn DVD -R discs, and need to steer clear of unbranded and (according to one forum) ANV branded discs - which I`d bought from scan. The pain is that I`m lumbered with 50 ANV Ritek G05`s that I can`t use. Given the high quality of the discs, I`m surprised to say the least.

One I`ve had success with is infinit brand DVD-R. The AV site I visited seemed to suggest Datasafe as well.

Having said that - these pixilated in my friend`s Cambridge Audio player!!

Hope this is of some use to you.

Toshiba 330 and DVDRs??

Hello everyone, now, before I start I admitt to being a bit a muppet, so may be missing something obvious... but I`ve burned (using Clone DVD) some DVD-R discs. A new ritek (G05) batch have started to pixelate towards the end of the films (and only at the end). Does anyone know what`s causing this? Is it the player, the compression or a dodgy batch of discs? Another problem is.. If it`s the discs, how do I take them back without erm, showing thier contents?
