My expensive Pioneer won't play DVD+R discs, but my el-cheapo no-name
one plays everything I've ever thrown at it (DivX included).

Yeah, I have three DVD players, two very cheapo jobbies (mind, one of
them is a Pioneer) used at home and for touring the 101 club DVD
around shows. The other, won't say what Beoludy overpriced make,
which is very, very fussy and TBH, not anywhere as good as the 30 quid
Makro Special Pioneer...
