Ok, I know not all DVD burner are not the same, therefore, not all players would be the same. I want to have a player that will be capible of playing the backup copies, what is a good one to purchase. Thanks for the help. Russ;)

Pretty much all of them suppport at least on type of dvd backup format. I have two Toshibas and a Panasonic. They play my dvd-r without a problem. Check here (www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers) to see what formats your dvd player support.

as a hi-fi installer in my spare time, I can highly recommend the Pioneer players. I've been runing a Pioneer DV-525 for over three years and i've never had a single problem with it - reliability and performance for a superb price (which was £300 at the time).

What is your budget? Do you have an external a/v amplifier or do you want on-board decoding of DTS/ Dolby Digital signals? what are you're output requirements?

If you simply want playback of a homebrew dvdr or backup dvdr then any modern Pioneer will do you proud.

Anyone looking to buy a player in the region of £200 I would recommend the Pioneer DV-565a.

hope that helps, cheeers :)

I just bought a new dvd player for the same reason. I bought a JVC from Best Buy. It was $110 with a $20 rebate. It is progressive scan and has a lot of nice features. It plays all my back ups with no problem..Here is the link http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1051806297488&skuId=5314108&type=product&productCategoryId=cat03013

The best bet is APEX they play just about any type of backup availiable. They are very cheap too.

I second that. I have an older Pioneer combo Laserdisc (!) and DVD player, and this thing plays every +R, -R, and +RW DVD I throw in it. Doesn't matter if it was burned in my Lite-On or Pioneer drive, plays everything.
