DVD Burning problems ?

pjm333 · 06-08-2005, 08:54 PM

I am having problems burning DVD'S. When I put a DVD Movie to burn in Drive D then a Blank DVD+RW into drive E I keep getting a error message saying "Please Insert a Blank rewriteable DVD 9" I tried 8 new DVD+RW DVD'S and kept getting the same message? any help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance.
I have Record Now / Sonic Version 7.3 and windows XP. Below is the responce I got from sonic...I am using Sony & Memorex DVD+RW and How do you tell which media your Burner prefers? RW+ or RW- ?

"The problem may be in the media itself. Are you using the correct media for your drive? Example, are you using -RW media when your burner only uses +RW? Are you doing an exact copy and trying to burn a DVD+R to DVD-R or vice versa? Also, make sure that you are using the branded media recommended by the manufacturer. Generic or "cheap" media has been known to cause a fair share of wasted discs and money for Sonic users. If you type in the model of your burner into the following link, it can tell you what kind of media you can burn to and what the best brands are to use, usually"
