I just googled R,R+W and found out that R can only be recorded on once, R+W can be recorded, erased and recorded several times. I've only used R+W for years, never had a problem. However I have found that Memorex discs just fail after an extended period, but the price is usually better. I know that doen't help you with your Rs. Sorry.

My old one (same model) became increasingly fussy about discs before it just refused to record on any. They are notoriously fussy about recording on DVD- discs. I think the formatting has changed also over the years, so they cannot record on some DVD+ discs. It's best to just record on DVD+ anyway, b/c the Toshiba, for instance, will convert an older DVD+ disc so you can finish out, edit and finalize, but all the Toshiba will do is play an unfinalized DVD- disc. Find a brand that works for your recorder, and stick with that brand, DVD+ only. If your recorder gets fussy woth THOSE, it's probably not going to last much longer.

I always buy the blank DVDs from Costco, which I believe is TDK brand, which has never ever posed a problem, they are always -R never ever used +R simply because it won't work with most DVD players. The DVDs have always worked well, only that Magnovox just gives up after a period. So it is basically the recorder not the DVDs. Trust that answers your question.

Don't know about yours but use maxwell and sony - on mine. Bought the maxwell on Amazon and they play great on my sony blue ray, pretty much as if they were recorded in he.

I am not a technical person, but I think that Pat Hunt's description is probably the best answer. Kr9295 is wrong The +R does not mean you can use it again. To re-record on a DVD disc you need + or - RW which stands for ReWritable. I have used +R and -R discs for recording and have not noticed any difference.

Thank you for your input on this matter. I tried a couple of times to burn disks using Nero using the ISO 9660 without Jolliet. For some reason this isn't working out. I have since contacted Panasonic by telephone and told them of my problem. They said that the disk didn't burn properly and they will sent me a cd-rom with the upgrade on it for me to use. Hopefully this will resolve the problem.

Bud Bundy is right, it is personal preference and also what works best if you intend on playing recorded disks on another player. I use the -R and -RW disks, because this format is more compatible with most DVD players - especially if you have an older one you want to play your recordings on. Eventhough the -R can only be recorded once, I'll use it for things I want to keep and have no intention of recording over. The -RW I use for everyday use and a good quality disk is supposed to allow you at least 2000 recordings. I hear Verbatims are very good quality, but I've been using Maxell & Memorex , because that's what I had on hand. Has worked excellent for me.

I stopped in at Ritz Camera today, I took my Flip to italy and have 45 mins I want to put on a DVD. I have next-to-none "technical" skills about burning my own, and I am okay with paying someone to do it. BUT....Ritz told me that they cannot burn DVD at this time as the software Pure Digital provided them does not work and Pure Digital is working to fix it. Has anyone else run into this????

nope never had an issue. I always burn at 4x which programs are you using. also check another brand dvd and see if it has the same issue if so than its your burner. you can get a usb burner for around 50 bucks I have one and I love it.

Hi Jack. I called Memorex (Imation). Customer service told me that the DVD's should definitely be compatible with Mac. Otherwise you can just upgrade your firmware on your driver or burner.

These TDK music perform very well on my ONKYO CD recorder, thus I asume they also will record satisfactorily on any other CD recorder. as long as the CD's feature the Word "music". I hope this information is useful to you. regards

Something is wrong in the DVD-recording world. I have two recording units, a Toshiba DVR670KU and a Magnavox ZV427MG9 A that I use to record favorite programs on DVD+RWs. However, not all the brands of +RWs will work on the two machines. So far these two machines will only use Maxell and Sony +RW whereas Memorex+RW will not format on these two machines. Therefore, I suggest people should test each type of DVD before buying a given type of DVD.

Hello Starr, I'm not sure however I have copied all types of cd's and dvd's. My favorite has been Memorex DVD-R. Perfect copy quality.

I have two DVD recorders. One is the Sony RDR-GX315 which seems to reject discs at random ("This disc can neither be recorded or played") and will not record premium channels from the DirecTV DVR. The other DVD recorder is the Toshiba D-R410. I have had it for about a month and it has not rejected and discs and records successfully any program from my DirecTV DVR. If you have an HH Gregg store in your area, you might be able to pick up the 410 new in a box for under $100.

I tried to record using a Sony DVD+R DL disc but it ran out of space after 2 hours. Sony says that this disc is not compatable with the DVDirect VRD-MC5 (although the manual indicates otherwise) and I should use a Verbatim disc, which I haven't tried yet.

I too have bought a sony and could not record on it because of copy protection. What good is a dvd recorder if you can't record on it.

I just got my d-r410 and I seem to hit a snag. I am able to play movies but not able to record. Or let me rephrase that, I can hit the record button but once i hit play there is no picture. I have a Scientific Atlanta 8300HD box and I think I connected the right cables correctly. I am using a DVD -R disc to test but not successful. Can someone shed some light? Thanks.

I have a dinosaur of a Panasonic DVD-RAM recorder (DMR-E55). I have the formatting error on brand new discs. I have "erased" on Windows 7 and Nero 11 platinum and am still getting the "this is not a recordable disc" error. Is it time to just get a new machine?

This unit did not install as a DVD-RW on my Dell Dimension 4700C or 8300 running XP SP3, it installed as a ROM device. It did install as advertised on my ThinkPad T40 running Vista but would not format DVD+RW discs. I think this product requires DVD-RAM discs which are more expensive and not as universally supported as other DVD formats. I have a question in to the supplier, no response at this time. I will probably end up sending the unit back.
