Needs Sone Insight About Ps3 And Dvds

[SSThunder]

OK. My buddy bought a sony DVD burner/VCR cpmbo. I burned some old VCR tapes onto the DVDs but they won't play in my ps3 or dvd/vcr combo I have. I was wonding if I can upgrade the ps3 software or if the issue is a hardware issue? Is the type of DVD a problem? He used DVD-R I think.

 

What's the difference between DVD-R and DVD+R?

sometimes many DVD players wont read burned DVDs. have you tried them in a PC to see if they even worked?

that's what I figure. I was just hoping my ps3 would be able to play them with software updated.
