In order to avoid disappointment and
unnecessary expenses, please make sure that your DVD player
can play DVD-R's. |
|
There are thousands of DVD
player models. A list of all compatible/incompatible
players on this Web Site would be incomplete and impossible
to maintain up to date. |
|
There is a much more accurate method of
determining if your player is compatible: get our Test
DVD. If it plays on your machine, you know
your machine is compatible. If it doesn't play, take
it to your favorite store, pop it in a DVD player. If
in plays correctly and you like the deck, buy it. You know with certainty that you will not have any
compatibility problems with that deck (and future decks). |
How to tell if your DVD player (or the player
you plan on buying) plays DVD-R's
Get the Test
DVD
The most reliable method:
send $5 for our "Test
DVD". We'll send you the DVD. If it plays on
your machine, you know all our conversions to DVD will play just
fine. If it doesn't play on your machine, you may be able
to get a very cheap unit that will play DVD-R's. There are
many models under $99. Take
the Test DVD to any retailer and ask them to play
the DVD. If it plays, Bingo! You found your
machine.
Less reliable methods:
look in the DVD player manual (or ask Technical Support of the manufacturer,
or the retailer) if the player will play DVD-R's. Unless you see it printed
in the manual, this is less reliable than the "Test
CD" because unfortunately some tech support people do not
know all the capabilities of their machines. Even worse,
many salespeople have no idea what an DVD-R is and
their answer is a guess (I guess they do, ma'am).
Right. . .
Pioneer DVD Players: we have tested a
number of DVD players. One brand played DVD-R's across
all models: Pioneer. If you are unable (or unwilling) to
go around testing DVD players, get a Pioneer DVD player.
It is a very good brand and all the models we tested played
DVD-R's.

Thank you for your speedy service. We can't express the appreciation we have in your work. You think you simply transferred a video to disc; you did much more than that: you made it possible for us to view life long memories of pleasantness. We have waited for years to view what your service did and the finished product was better than what we sent to you. Thanks,

To the Folks at CVC Productions Cristian Coban I just received and played your transfer from an old laser video disc to a DVD of a classic performance by the legendary violinist Ruggiero Ricci and must express to you my deep admiration for your professionalism and dependability. The presentation as well as the quality of your transfer from that arcane medium to a DVD was superb, magnificent. I am looking forward to locating more such treasures for you to bring to life. Yours sincerely,
