Hi!

Yes, your burner should be capable of burning both DVD-R and DVD+R media.

1) Did you purchase the DVD+Rs from a reliable source?

2) What is the brand and "MID" (Manufacturers' ID) of the DVD+Rs?

3) Exactly what happens when you try to burn to DVD+R media?

4) Have you tried to use different burning software, such as (freeware) IMGBurn?

thanks 4 taking the time out to reply setarip...embarrassingly i must admit my dvd's come from big w..they are benq dvd's.......sorry i'm too newby to know what the manufacturer's id is ....i have nero 6 and what happens is the dvd+r disc is ejected by nero...yes i have tried using a different program(winavi vid converter)and i can burn to dvd+r with this program..this is what puzzles me ,the fact that winavi burns to dvd+r and my primary burning program nero does not..i was under the impression that nero should be the best for burning as it is a burning program..
:confused:

doh im really dumb i downloaded imgburn and i cant work out how to burn dvd files on the hardrive for love or money..this program wants iso files..i

In IMGburn, use build mode, to build your ISO. load the folder with the VIDEO_TS file and build,then you can burn to disk..
you can also try IMGTool burn, and burn without an ISO file..

BTW, I have the same burner plus 2 other Lite-On drives on second sys. and use Verbatim DVD+R both with no probs...

I think you should use the DVD-R disc anyway. They are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more compatable the the DVD+R. It will play in almost all DVD players. Just my 2 cents.

Hi!I think you should use the DVD-R disc anyway. They are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more compatable the the DVD+R.Although well-intended, your statement is both grossly exaggerated at best, and about 3 years out of date...
