Fansubs
are now available on DVD. Either as a Video recorded using a Gateway AR-230
playable on DVD Player or as files burnt to DVD R playable on a computer
usually requiring either the DIVX or XVID codec. Compatibility Issues DVDs
are not like CDs, they have compatibility issues. Will a DVD I record or burn
work in your DVD Player or DVD ROM? The answer is a resounding maybe. Before
spending a ton of money ordering a bunch of DVDs from me, I suggest that you
only get one. Test it out to see if it works. If it works great, order as
many as you like the next time. I can’t be responsible for compatibility
issues, so you’ve only lost a few bucks. I put up a compatibility chart below
to help. These are players that I’ve tested with my DVDs and work. Doesn’t
necessarily mean that if you have the same one that it work, but they should.
Also the older you DVD ROM gets the more finicky it gets. They can have more
problems reading disc after extended use. |

Notes: Players listed in
Green are owned or tested by me personally. The big surprise is the Pioneer
DV-505, it normally can’t play anything burnt as it’s
a second generation DVD Player. I though for sure since the Pioneer work the
Apex AD-600A would work but it didn’t. |
