My Apex 1201 plays:

Ritek G04 4x -R
TDK 2x -R
Ritek 2x -RW
Princo 1x -R (don't ask, it's a gift)
Memorex 2.4x +R

and a few others I can't recall.

Sounds like yours is deffective, dirty, or a revision in the model? When did you buy it, what's the serial number manufacturing date (not whole number).

I just bought it last week. manufactured july 2003.I flashed it to firmware v2.16.I have to use multisession on DVD-R'S or they won't play. s/n ALA21102237039013.what kinda software are you using?

[Gazorgan]

Original Firmware here. Flashing for multi-session DVD-R's sounds ominus. Are you sure? I mean I don't close my RW's an it reads them just fine.

I had this EXACT same problem with the Optorite when I owned it. I burned about 40 coasters trying to figure out "what I was doing wrong" before trading it in for my LG. First disc I burned with the LG worked in my Apex 1200. My advice to you, trade the Optorite in for a better brand burner. 8)

I have to burn it in UDF/ISO in Nero and make my on VIDEO_TS folder and leave the disc open or it won't play for sure.what kind burnig software are you using?
