I have this DVD recorder and it was working fine at first, but then I changed the brand of recordable DVD, this new brand is about $10 lesser, and my recorder started to make weird sounds after that.
My guess is that it was having problems reading the DVD, but I'm not sure...and then whenever I stop my recording, there will be sounds and then the recorder would shut of and the disc that I just recorded would not work. There would be a message saying that there's nothing on the disc or there's no empty spaces left, even though there should have been. Also, that DVD wouldn't be able to play...
So my question is, is the problem occurring because of my DVD recorder or the new brand of recordable DVD?

It may be the new discs. Are they name brand or some special item from a discount website?
Did you make sure that the new discs are the same format (DVD+R or DVD-R) as the more expensive ones that worked for you?
I don't know which brand recorder you have, but it may be one that works specifically with one or the other format. Most newer name brand recorders can handle both +R and -R discs, as well as the rewritable versions (DVD+RW and DVD-RW).

If you have an owners manual look in it for a list of recommended disc media. If not buy some of the discs you used to use and try them, if they don't work your recorder may be junk.
