The DVD player is a JVC XV-S300.
As far as what it supports? I just pulled the manual and it DOES NOT support DVD-RW. Playable disc types: DVD VIDEO, SVCD, Video CD, and Audio CD. I have a large collection of the various discs it can't play.
No, I am unable to play the disc on the laptop.
So much for thinking I delay the purchase buying a new computer, tv, and additional media playing devices.
Not to mention the external burner I bought. Nor the AVS4YOU 1 year subscription purchased this weekend that will terminate with this laptop.
The time I've invested is prohibitive to what I have available. Knowing that, I'm frustrated that I didn't take a minute to investigate my dvd player. (This kind of stuff is not my thing)
ACK!
I will make one more purchase... of the video disc types the manual mentions. But that's it. :)
Thanks for responding...
