It's supposed to be able to play VCD's, I've tried CD-RW and neither it or
my old Sony DVD player would read them. It's just like I can't get either
DVD player to play DVD-RW. While computers seem to be able to read
CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW just fine, commecial DVD players have rather spotty
support. Anyone interested in knowing if they're player would support a
specific format/disk type should consult

Of course this is getting rather off topic, unless you consider the
possibility of preserving computer related data on old VHS tapes or
Laserdisc's.
