Hi,
I just picked up a LG LDA-830 since it was cheap and lots of people said it's pretty good at playing most Xvid videos, which is my primary purpose.
However, I generally get videos from my computer to the DVD player using Ridata 8x DVD+RW discs (these are the only 8x rewritable discs I've found).
I've had no problem with these discs on my old Philips DVP642 player. But on the LG after trying to load for a few seconds it always gives me a "Disk Error" message instead.
I've tried some other media on the LG (taiyo-yuden DVD-R, Maxell 4x DVD+RW, Verbatim 2x DVD+RW) and they all work okay. But it seems to have an issue with the Ridata 8x DVD+RW.
Anyone else have this player and experience on compatible media? I'm wondering if it's the model or if I just have a bad unit. Are there any firmware updates that might affect this? (I couldn't find any firmware on LG's site.)
Thanks!
