Not sure which forum this should fall into, as encompasses several, reclassify if necessary...

I've been reading about the compatibility of CD-R/CD-RW discs with standalone Sony DVP-S530D DVD player, and it seems that most CD-RW media will work, but pretty much only the STI CD-R will work. Here are my questions:

1. Does one media provide a better quality than the other (R vs. RW)?

2. I'm planning on doing an exact copy of VCD using HP RecordNow v 3.1 software by Veritas, copying from CD-R read by Toshiba SD-M1502 DVD-rom (16x) and burning with Philips CDD4851 CD-R/RW (12x8x32)--does anyone know of any potential problems with this setup, with regard to using R, and having it play back on the above mentioned standalone player?

Thanks,
RL

Disks are so cheap... Why not try it and see. My Sony playes anything, I bet it would play records if I could get them in there...
