I have a DTH 5000U and have heard from Thomson in France that this player will not handle DVD-R DVD-RW or DVD+RW. From the reports listed under the DVD players this is obviously not correct.

It is suggested that this player is the same as a Hitachi DV-P315U which is listed as being able to handle DVD+RW by the DVDplusRW.org.

Is there an upto date list of players that do work with the +RW media.

Otherwise this player works with VCD and SVCD really well. Have produced 704*568 SVCD which look really good, but the prospect of DVD quality is what i really want now.
