*Please note: DVD-R (recordable DVD) is compatible with most DVD players made in the last few years, however some older DVD players and even very a small number of newer ones and PCs may not play DVD-R or may experience some difficulty playing them. This is beyond our control, so before booking a transfer please check that your player is compatible with DVD-R, you may wish to borrow a DVD-R from someone to try, or you can bring your player along to us and try one of our recorded disks in it.
Please store DVD-R away from excessive heat sources, and away from direct sun light.
