Answer 1

You say you bought the wrong kind of Cd's You need DVD blanks not CD blanks. if I am reading you right. You should double check what you bought. Just to be sure.

Hi Pink Bunny,

Look on your burner and see if it says "DVD-R, DVD+R or DVD+/-R.  If it has both + and - then either media will work. If it says just -R or just +R then get that kind of media.

The DVD+R and DVD-R are competing formats much like the old VHS and Beta formats in video tapes. Today most drives are Hybrid and handle both formats. They are usually labeled DVD+/-R.

My personal experience has led me towards using the +R. It is slightly better at error handling so more tolerant of dirty or damaged media and also more tolerant to the subtle differences between players.

As far as brands we have found Verbatim the best, Sony a close second and Memorex the absolute worst.

I hope this information helps you.
