Could it be a DVD-R+ versus a DVD-R- incompatibility? Some older players can only read one or the other. Same thing for some older burners.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It's not the plus/minus thing -- I tried a plus and a minus dvd and neither worked.
However, other homegrown dvds do -- it's all very odd.
I googled and found a list of disks that will/won't play on my machine. . . hmmmm

You can schedule tv shows from Yahoo TV listings on your Tivo.
I just heard something about that on NPR this morning. Cool.

So, the particular brand of dvd-r won't play on my machine -- does this mean that if I found somebody to copy the dvds to a brand that does - that it would work?
That seems a little too simple.

More likely is that the discs weren't properly finalized -- non-finalized DVDs will sometimes play on the machine that created them, but no others.

Well, the machine that played them over the weekend was not the machine that created them.

I have an Excel table filled with ID numbers. On the website they were copy-pasted from, they are links. On the Excel table, they are still links, and it's making it a bitch to move the data around without accidentally opening up browser windows. How can I make Excel forget about the link information?
