Page 1 of Wharfedale 750s - does it play DVD-R?

I have also posted this question in the general forum so apologies to anyone reading this twice!

I am considering having some 8mm videos transferred to DVD. The company I am considering using uses DVD-R discs but says that not all DVD players will play them. I phoned the Tesco helpline to find out and though the sevice rep said yes it will play them, I sort of got the feeling that she really know what I was talking about! Before I spend the money to have them tranferred does anyone know for certain?

yes it does play dvd-r as i watch a lovely copy of scooby doo
it also plays svcd/vcd copies

not a bad machine but even tho on svcd the pic freezes for a mill sec about every 5 mins. i think its down to the lazer not knowing what to do really..

Peace
