I have tried DVD-RW, DVD-R and DVD+R so far and all come up as unsupported format. I am burning them as dvd video or ISO image on various software packages but have had no luck at all.

I wish I had found it earlier ! I just bought some DVD+RW and will try this tonight. I'm on a Windows box, but the problem and solution are the same. Just for the record, I was amazed to see that ONE of the DVD+R that I burned (without changing the booktype) DID play on my EH57. It was full of DivX. The second one I burnt did not play... strange huh ? This one only had one DivX on it, maybe that made a difference ? Anyway, I have a NEC3220A, and it says it will not change the booktype of 'minus' media. So this method is OK for DVD+RW, not for DVD-RW. Definitive answer tonight ! Nice post !

Panasonic will not be getting any more money from me in future. That's the only thing to do with companies like this -- boycott their products in future and look for open, unrestricted products, or make our own if possible using open source -- things like MythTV etc. As a simple device for recording TV progs onto the hard drive, this box is OK though. But if you're looking for a flexible, unrestricted, user friendly device, this product is not it. Hi Pawel,

I have bought dmr eh-57 too for playing my music from dvd-ram disks. Simply my children doesn't like my music cds as me. My plan was to use dvd-ram disks in cardridge for everyday playing the music. Sounds perfect but dmr eh-57 will not play music from dvd-ram disk ever. That is answer from Panasonic when I contact them after few foulty trials. What I can do now? Returning of this useless and pricy box to the shop is out of question as 30 days gone. Regards - Drazkiewicz Pawel Good Day
