Many thanks. There is huge variabilty in DVD and even CD media. I bought  
a pack of 25 Memorex DVD-R/W and only two would play in the set top  
player while all would play in the computer DVD drive. On the other hand  
I have had no problems at all with Sel Cheapo Staples DVD-R/W on set top  
or comuter.
