DVD-R or DVD+R?

Question

Having a bit of trouble with a DVD writer I have used DVD-R discs and it always fails towrds the end. Is this because the DVD writer is DVD+R? Anyone know what is wrong?

How would I be able to find this out?

Hope someone can help.

Answer 1

If your drive will only write +R. -R media will play, but it won't record.  Either get the right media or buy a universal drive (they are cheap)

Answer 2

it should tell you in your hand book but i thing if you have dvd-r then thats the type you need to use!

Answer 3

Burning programme.

Answer 4

The new DVD players coming out only need you to wite in +R. They are doing away with -R all together. If you can afford it get a new player they sell for about 49.00 at walmart and they play either +R or -R

Answer 5

if its the wrong disc it wouldnt start recording..what make are you using, and what speed u recording at??
