Most DVD players can read DVDs, VCD, SVCD, CDs, MP3, JPGs,
And there are some DVD players that can play AVIs.

Your computer, asuming you have a DVD ROM, can play DVDs aswell.
Also they can play and view the rest of the formats listed above.

It's impossible to make a dvd that's totally compliant with ALL players.
The best you can do, is encode video to DVD Spec, Author to DVD Spec, and possibly bitset the writer to DVD_ROM and use DVD+R.

I'd say that it's accurate in that it's almost impossible to make a 100% compatible disc. Some player will inevitably refuse to play!
