Can anyone tell me if the disk has the usual images all over it or if it looks like a blank disk with some writing in the inner layer. Assuming that made sense of course
Go for the R4 SE like I did. It's identical to the R1 SE and is really cheap at the moment from www.ezydvd.com.au or www.atlanticdvd.com.au
Missed the point a bit SG. I have just bought a used one and was checking that it was a legit DVD, hence the image question.
OK - well you should've said My R4 is a picture disk. Now I notice that the R1 SE has both 4:3 and 16:9 versions, so if it's a double-sided disk then naturally it will only have the writing on the inner ring. If it's single sided (with 4:3 and 16:9 versions on the same side) then I would be surprised if it was legit and had just writing on the inner ring. Did you try both sides?
