Thanks for the reply. I am using Verbatim discs as it turns out. Didnt even realize it till I looked at the carousel of discs. I thought we were past the piracy and cheap BD player era. I guess I was wrong. Whats worse, is that someone burning home movies of vacations and weddings cant even watch a BD on whats supposed to be “the premier” A/V console from Microsoft. One more reason to not buy one. I was just wondering if there was another format or way I could write the BD so that maybe his Sanyo would play the disc. Its a shame, he was the one person that I really talkeded up the Harmy DE and TN1 versions. He was so excited to watch them. The sad thing is, my BD player is 10 yrs old and it plays everything.
