When technology began with the evolving CD's then DVD's back in the early 90's I was impressed. The compression was simply awe inspiring yet today I am troubled as I have DVD's I can't play because, the new players will not recognize old disks.

I come to the wisdom of the technology guru's AMDusers Forum because you folks seem to know it all. I want to play these old disks and I don't want to purchase 6 different machines to accomplish this effort. How can I make this work?

Or is there a better way?
