Don't know where you live in this world, but here is what you can do and save some money. If you live somewhere close to a TARGET store in USA? Go buy yourself one of those "Mintek DVD 1600"
http://www.mintekdigital.com/products/dvd1600.htm which can playback anything you want just for a price of $39.99 when on sale or regular price is $49.99 still cheap.
Now it won't say it on the box, but the player will play VCD 2.0, SVCD 1.0, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-ROM, DVD-RW, CD-ROM, MP3, RAW-Media also, CD-R, CD-RW, CD-K, Photo-CD, Jpeg-CD and the new MiniDVD, but again there won't be any mention of this in or outside the box.
There has been a lot of talk about it on
http://www.nerd-out.com if you want to learn more about Mintek, Apex home DVD players.
I own 3 of them, highly recommend them! Forget about Panasonic, SONY, Toshiba, Denon, JVC, Daewoo, Samsung an etc DVD players when they give you that Disc Error, get the Mintek!
