Ok. Time for a list of working DVD Players for Tivo DVDs...

[kaloveah]

1. I thought I had posted - I did not know that you would receive a personal email.

2. If the DVD said something about R- or R+, I would have stated that. There is no way, looking at the disc, to determine this. I was looking for advice that went beyond the obvious, something that maybe I hadn't thought of.


Thanks.

To figure out what kind of media, you can try something like DVD Identifier with your PC.

I've had a lot of success with finicky players with a drive that finishes the "BookType" on DVD+R media as DVD-ROM.

I recently discovered that Nero will automatically set the disc type for DVD+R discs to DVD-ROM by default. This will fool a player into believing it's playing a DVD-R disc since they're also DVD-ROM discs.

Not too many posts on this thread in the last couple of years but I thought I would post my success on a toshiba sd 3990 in case anyone is interested.

pulled off hacked 6.2 HDVR2
The discs work great. I have not tried to pretty up the menus at all or done anything fancy. I left the audio alone ( no transcoding ) and the player reports the audio as MPEG2 2 channel. I have burned two dvds and no coasters. I am newbie to all this but have pretty good linux skills so I seem to have been able to pick up this easier than some.

I used Imation DVD+R discs I bought in a stack of 50 pretty cheap. I can't think of anything else that might be relevant. For a cheap Best buy player I have been happy with this unit.

Is your TiVo perhaps a Stand Alone model? I had the same thing on my Sony 400 disc player until I set TyTool to trasncode the audio. The TiVo is an SA Series I.
