Yes, I have one or two, but not many.
I thought it was defective so I returned it and got
another one. After it wouldn't play, I figured there must be more to
it, so I took the DVD to FutureShop and tried it in some standalone
DVD players. The only ones that would play it were made by Toshiba, so
I bought one. I would hope that most DVD players would play it now,
I bought a portable DVD/Navigation system and it will play data DVD's
with vidX, DivX and MP3's, regular DVD's and audio CD's it even has a
built in FM transmitter so I can listen to it over the stereo in my
truck, when I am not using it for navigation.
Oddly enough, my Toshiba was the one that gave me difficulties. I bought the
Lite-On 18 months ago, and it plays pretty much everything, but then it runs
xine ;-) The interface is so recognisable

Getting firmware updates for drives can relieve a lot of problems. Some
companies don't
seem to make them. Plextor seems to have too many firmware upgrades =P
Not movie related, but my laptop read the 1x, 2x DVD-Rs just fine, but I
bought 4x DVD+RW
and they wouldn't read. The 4x had a new "standard" or some thing, but
new firmware was avail
and it read just fine.
