My cheap DVD player can play even badly scratched disks without any problem... But my Philips DVD-R or my Samsung DVD-RW cant read even slightly scratched one... Is it normal or I should buy some high priced DVD roms like ASUS?..... * +

Lasers and motors used in the computer DVD roms are supposed to be a lot more advanced and powerful than the ordinary cheap DVD players... But its not the case in real, why?.... * +

Its important for me coz my works on the pc highly depends on my DVD-RW drive as I use to read-write and copy a lot of CD's and DVD's daily.... If any of u have got good results with expensive DVD drives, please suggest the brand.... * +

Dvd drives in computers are more criticle than dvd players. But be aware that playing damaged discs can shorten the life of any laser based player because it has to work that much harder to read the disc. Thats a fact rather than an opinion! * +

This situation is simular to a record player in that the needle on an expensive deck would jump with a damaged record. While a ordinary domestic record player would play the damaged record without a problem. Thats cos the pro deck has the capacity to play more detail on the track which could be the damaged portion the cheap player would miss. The same can be said with different qualities of laser. * +

You get what you pay for , so avoid that 30 USD Hewlett Packard dvd burner at Wal-Mart . * +

Yeah sure, buy an expensive player that cant play damaged discs or buy a cheap player that does lol. Usually with audio visual or computer equipment you get exactly what you pay for. You shouldnt be using damaged discs anyway. * +
