Whoa!   The Sony Recorder for Video Discsks does NOT record in a way that is
readable in "Normal" disc players.  I was shown the Sony system earlier
this month and made sure I got that information.  The Player for these 
discs can emulate a standard disc player for testing out interactive 
programs.  But you can't stick in a pre-recorded disc and play it.
Sorry.
