CD-R & CD-RW please help

[Booboodeo]

well, i have no problem with ripping a DVD and convert to VCD when i burn them (nero) into a CD-RW it works fine on my DVD player but when i use CD-R it only works on my computer. Is this normal i mean i can only use CD-RW if i want to view on my DVD player?

Actually it is normal. I have a friend who's player will only read CdrW's. On the bright side, after you watch the movie you erase it and burn a new one. Also, check the DVD player list to see if your player will read Cdr's and if so what brand or layers.
