Do a forum search for the word "bitsetting"

Some DVD Burners (only DVD+R/RW drives and even then perhaps not all such model/makes) can change the bitsetting so that the disc is either marked as a DVD+R disc (the norm) or a DVD-ROM disc (not the norm unless you change the bitsetting).

If you change the bitsetting to DVD-ROM then the DVD disc will be readable in more DVD players so if you change it to DVD-ROM there is a possibility that your Toshiba stand alone DVD player will like it and play it.

Since you have a DVD+R/RW only burner chances are high that it is such a model/make that will allow this bitsetting change.

Again I would do a forum search on the word "bitsetting"

I cannot offer much help here as I've never owned a burner with this capability so I've never done it myself. I prefer to burn DVD-R discs only.

I do know that the popular DVDInfoPro program is capable of changing the bitsetting (assuming your DVD burner supports it).
