    I want to burn a few copies of DVDs for the Odyssey, however, I'm unable to
    get both + and - formats to work. Store purchased titles work fine, and,
    when we purchased the van, our salesperson showed us one of his home-made
    DVDs of a trip he took.

    Has anyone else had problems with this? I use CDXPBurnerPro for all my CD
    and DVD burning needs. Is there another program out there that would work
    better and assure that my DVDs will be playable in the van?

    Thanks for any and all comments.

    Many types of DVD-Rs work, but DVD-RWs and the +R/RWs do not. I have
    had luck with Ritek 4x DVD-Rs and CompUSA 1x DVD-Rs (not sure who
    makes them).

    I can whoheartedly recommend dvdshrink from dvdshrink.org to rip and
    downsample a full length dvd. Then you can use nero, roxio, or your
    favorite dvd recording software. The copies I have made play in all the
    players I've tried.

    yes, your best bet would be with ritek -r disks. +r have lower
    compatibility, but if you burn with dvdshrink you might be able to get it to
    work, if you check off the option for increased dvd+r compatibility

    Well, just wanted to post the results of my findings. Although all
    suggestions were good, including the suggestion to check out
    www.odyclub.com, I discovered that when burning a DVD with Nero 6, the
    software selected a REGION FREE burn. When I deselected this option and
    selected REGION 1, then put it into my Odyssey, it worked flawlessly!

    Now, mind you, this was using DVD -R. It does NOT work with DVD +R
    (really didn't expect it to).

    Thanks for the replies. Hopefully, this info will assist others with the
    same problem.
