Answer 3

DVD writers use different formats, you need to match the right disc with the drive. Your DVD burner (software) should be able to tell you what kind of drive you have. If not, look at system properties/hardware/device manager DVD/CD-ROM drives for information on the drive in your system. Once you have that, look up the drive on the mfrs www.

Types are DVD-R, DVD-R/W, DVD+R, DVD+R/W

Also, depending on the sw your using, you may need to format the disk first.

Answer 4

examine on the producer website in the event that they have an improve firmware that may help DVD-R. If not and your burner dont help burning DVD-R in any respect there is not lots you're able to do yet purchase yet another one. immediately usually DVD burner comes fairly much less costly.

Answer 5

Maybe your DVD burner takes DVD+R disks. I know that the older machines only use one format or the other. Check your manual to see if yours accepts both OR DVD-R (not +)

Answer 6

This may sound silly, but you have burnt to dvd before?..and if your answer is , "yes", what are you doing differently now? are you using different software? does you dvd rom still read dvds?
It seems unlikely that your dvd cake is unusable quality.
Sorry, I could list many things to try, but it would be easier if you could supply more information...?

Answer 7

firstly, are the burners DVD-r compatible?There are 3 formats, DVD+R and DVD-R being the most popular/ useful.
Most newer burners can deal with both, but if they are not compatible they just won't work.
If they are compatible, maybe you just got a bad batch of discs- it can happen.

Answer 8

Try burning them at the slowest speed available and do NOT use the computer while its burining them.

This worked for me with some discs.

Answer 9

well ur drives may not be fast enough or may record on DVDs of a different format.

Answer 10

try combo writter
