I have a Toshiba TV w/ a built in DVD and vhs player my special features DVD works but it tells me incorrect disc when I put i

DVD mastering has changed over time so on later DVD and BD players there is a way to update the firmware in the player (via data disc, usb, or the net). Your built in probably doesn't have this ability so won't play some discs. You can check the TV manual or menus to see if there is any mention of this.
