Could it be that it is not cdr - cdrw compatible.........if it does not list as being compatible with them, that may very well be the case??

This certainly sounds like a classic compatability issue.
This site (http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers) has some useful info...

I have the same problem !
Some of my dvd's will not be recognised in my machine.
Tried a few friends and they work fine.
Also some of theirs work in mine.
"scratches head"
I think some media do not like my dvd dive.

I've had this problem across the board; the only constant is home-rips are the ones giving problems. My wife's new in-car cd head won't play 'em, but my 7yr old Onkyo will. Same with DVDs, even on player/recorders with full capabilities.
My only thought is maybe some sort of proprietary encoding/decoding/flagging problem; possibly the powers that be have succeeded in throwing this fly into the P2P ointment.
