It honestly depends on your DVD player and how the DVD is made. More than likely on a newer player it probably will. But the only way to know for sure is try it.

Use DVD Shrink and IMGToolBurn to copy DVD's. You have to have Nero installed for IMGToolBurn to work. Usually this method will play. My parents have an old RCA that won't even play burned CD's but will usually play any burned DVD I try on it.

To be absolutely safe, buy 1 DVD+R and 1 DVD-R and try it out ... since you have an older player, try DVD-R... they are generally more compatible with the older drives (since the DVD-R spec came out first). Of course with DVD+R discs, there are techniques that allow you to 'trick' players into interpreting it as different types of media/books

The question was for the dvd player
