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.
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.

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.
Please don't PM me or any other members looking for personal assistance. You'll do better by posting (after you've exhausted the search feature, of course) and taking advantage of the collective expertise of the membership instead of a single individual that may or may not be able to help you. Thank you and enjoy your stay at DDB!

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.
