Is there a Forum section or list of Compatable DVD readers?

[Jon_J]

I have 2 older DVD readers that will not read a DVD-RW which I made in Nero with UDF 1.02 ISO, my burner can read this, but not my 2 readers. It is a single directory with 1292 zip archives.

Is there a list of readers that read "ALL" formats, or some formats?
Or is there a method of flashing that can "make" an older DVD reader work with the various formats now available?

DVD burner: Plextor PX-708A
DVD reader: Toshiba SD-M1402
DVD reader: Toshiba SD-M1202

Thanks for reading this,
Jon

Go to www.rpc1.com and d/l latest firmware.
In the future you might burn ISO9660.

Thank you for your reply burninfool.
I have the latest firmware for the SD-M1402 (1012) if that is the latest.
I got 1012 last yr.

I also have the latest firmware for the SD-M1202 (1028) if that is the latest.
I got 1028 last spring

I did burn my first disc using Nero 6.0.0.11 ISO mode and it is 9660.
I was told to try the UDF 1.02 method and tried that the second time.

Using the same DVD-RW with both burn methods gives same results.
(I erased it before burning the second time).

Toshiba DVD-ROM's are generally not good Multi-Read devices due to Toshiba's strong position behind the DVD-R format.
