message: Could anyone help me by informing how to copy lots of MP3 songs in a DVD and make it play on a DVD Player (viz. Sony, LG, etc..)
I have copied the MP3 files using the COPY DATA mode on PC, but this DVD did not play on the Sony DVD player.

message: "A DVD player is a device that plays discs produced under both [emphasis mine] the DVD Video and [emphasis mine] DVD Audio technical standards, two different and incompatible standards."  
A disc cannot be produced under both standards if they are incompatible.  I think it was meant to say "either"; specifically:
"A DVD player is a device that plays discs produced under either [emphasis mine] the DVD Video or [emphasis mine] DVD Audio technical standards, two different and incompatible standards."
I've changed the article to the second version, change it back if I'm wrong - with an explanation here, please.  -  Xandercorp  18:39, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm finding large differences in the quality of the error-handling of players, in the
presence of known dirt and/or scratches on e.g. a movie-DVD.  [I've got a Pioneer player
which is crap, in that it bounces out totally on such errors (and doesn't seem to remember
where you were, so then when you press play/continue, it restarts at the BEGINNING of the movie).
In contrast, I've got a Sony player which just pauses a lot when hitting the SAME scratches on
the SAME movie-DVD, but it hangs in there after some jerks and pauses, so you never lose you
place in the movie, so I LIKE that error-behavior MUCH better. [The Sony is also capable of
saying '<Error-code> The disk is dirty' on another movie-DVD, which prevents you from
showing it.  I don't have a disk-cleaner, so I don't know if that could fix the issue.]
That said, don't consider this a recommendation, in general, of one brand over another, as your
experience may differ WIDELY from mine, based on exact models, etc, etc.
What I'd like to see discussed (somewhere) is whether firmware in any of these DVD-players is
ever upgradable (e.g. like it is on most all $50 wifi-routers!)
Also, I'd like some discussion on whether dirt and/or scratches can be lessened or eliminated
using any of the various DVD-MEDIA-cleaners.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarasotaslim (talk • contribs) 18:11, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
