It recognizes it as a CD but then it says that it has encountered a problem. I have tried 10 different CD's why can't I burn music or copy files? This is the only discs I have had problems with. I usually use the maxell DVD-R

Okay, this is going to sound silly to you, but it is because your burner cannot handle +R DVD discs.
The ending, -R, +R, -RW, +RW is important. And so is single layer and double layer. And soon to come HD and BlueRay.
What you have is most likely a CD/DVD-R/RW drive, which means you can use:
CD-R
CD-RW
DVD-R
DVD-RW
discs in your drive to record things. Any discs that end in the +R or +RW you cannot use in your drive, and any double layer discs you cannot use.
You can get a stand-alone USB Sony CD/DVD+/-R/RW Double Layer drive for about $50 to $100 and then use all the different disc types.
You can usually return the DVD+R discs in exchange for DVD-R discs by explaining to them that you got the wrong disc type. The stores are usually understanding.

Do you have a DVD Burning DRIVE????
You can burn regular CDS with a CD+R Drive, but you cant burn DVDs with a CD+R drive...
Is your drive able to BURN DVDS??? because if you are putting DVD discs into a regular CD drive it will not work...

Sounds Like your DVD Drive only accepts DVD-R Discs-Therefore -R Discs are unreadable!
Take them back to the store with your Receipt and exchange them!

If you've been able to use DVD-R's then your drive does not recognize the DVD+R's because they are the wrong format for your burner.

your burner may need a firmware upgrade, google the make and model to see if there are any updates available.

or as previously stated your burner may not be compatable with +R media ... only -R
