I looked at the DVD Compatibilty section and the responses for this player are very miss leading. Sofar I can only get VCD's to work on Memorex CRW but music cd's can work on any CDR. I'm lookin for a CDR that will work with VCD since they are alot cheaper. Additionally, whta is the maxmimum bitrate I can reach with this player. I read in one post that they got 2500 to work.
