Help with a DVD recorder!?

Question

I have been utilizing a DVD recorder at my parents house.Stuff is still recording on the hard drive, yet any time I try to transfer it to a disc, I get either, unsupported disc, no disc, or incompatable media...

I have tried it with a number of different brands of disc, and keep getting the same response. The machine actually let me burn something onto a disc, but ill not even allow me to finallize it on my recorder...comes up, no disc...(I do stuff at the folks, as I do not have cable...)

...any ideas? I would greatly appreciate any help...

Answer 1

DVD recorders are way too fickle for there own good.  They are particular about the recording media....for example, they'll take dvd+r but not dvd-r.  You'll have to get from the manual or manufacturers web site.  that's the most likely problem.  

Yes, do rember to finalize before you try to play on another machine.
