RE: Toshiba SD-2109
Hi, regarding the Toshiba SD-2109, the only way you can play back copied DVD`s is to have the player chipped. (Wrong) I have got a Liteon SOHW-812S internal dual format DVD writer in my PC and you can download an util from Liteon that allows you to change the Booktype of a DVD+ disk. Basically the Booktype tells the DVD Player what type the DVD disk is. (DVD+ or DVD- or DVD-ROM) In theory all DVD Players should play back DVD-ROM`s
So if I copy a DVD movie using DVDShrink to my Hard drive, then run the Booktype util and change the Booktype to DVD-ROM, then use Nero to create a DVD Movie, the disk plays fine on my Toshiba 2109.
The Booktype util only works for Liteon writers and for DVD+ disks only. I have tried the Datasafe and Traxdata DVD+ disks and burnt them at 4x and they play fine.
So you have a choice. Invest in a Liteon writer (they cost around £40) or buy another DVD Player and hope for the best.
I hope this info is useful.
