More on my DVD saga. I've come to the conclusion it's got nothing t do with the discs but the dvd recorder.

Just read this in the instructions.

Not all brands of discs will be compatible with ths DVD Recorder.

How am I supposed to know which ones to buy without forking out another £7.99!!!!!!

Can't you go on line to ask the manufacturer which discs you should be using? What is the make of the recorder?

Is there a difference between DVD-RW and DVD+RW?
I recently purchased a DVD recorder.
The instruction manual states that I must have a DVD-RW or DVD-R disc in order to record. I purchased DVD+RW disks. When I put the DVD+RW disc into the drive, it would not recognize the disc

The letters DVD+RW and DVD-RW are similar, but they are 2 completely different formats. -RW is the version that is approved by the DVD Consortium, and is playable in more recorders. However, this format is not as good for data storage and error correction. The +RW format is better for these purposes.

You'll have to either return your +RW discs or find someone to sell or give them to. They just aren't going to work

Apparently this is a common problem i was just fortunate enough to pick up the correct DVDs when i recently bought some.

lots of people asking the same question on yahoo.
Have you changed your DVD recorder recently TT because i sent you DVD+ [the proms] so if that worked you will need the same DVD discs.

It plays both + & - dvds sunday & the booklet definitely says it needs blank -r & -Rw's to record on which I bought.

I've now managed to record a couple of things on a Philips DVD but sometimes when I put the same DVD in it says it's the wrong disc then when I try again it accepts it. Still won't accept any of the Imation Dvds though. That's why I've come to the conclusion it's the actual Dvd recorder.

That happend to my DVD a few months ago, it wouldn't play even ones that had always played .... it just got worse and worse until it was barely excepting anything...eventually bought another one last week...[ i didn't want to chance it with it being so near to Will promoting ...came out in a cold sweat at the DVD refusing to record at a vital moment ]the things i do for Will we have sky+ so dont use the dvd for anything but recording Will when he is on tv

I believe DVDs (whether they are -R or +R) will play on most recorders as long as they are finalised.

Trying to get some money together to buy this exercise equipment...its had brilliant reviews everywhere...and C4 had it on 'how to look good naked' and they also rated it highly....they charge £200 in the USA but £400 in the UK

Bit pricey! Thank goodness I'm not into exercising. Mind you I wouldn't mind running across a few fields.

I couldn't even do that at the moment TT - not even with Will at the end as an incentive. Only just managed it at Killerton.

I am hoping to test my new camera out... it records really well and as stereo sound but it's a little bit bulky so i am going to atempt to smuggle it in to chiswick so hopefully you will get to see it

Thanks sunday. We know you will do yor best.

If i can't get the camera past them...i will have my lg viewty phone/camera i took it to the little noise sessions but because we were not near the stage the picture was blurred [ it only had digital zoom not optical zoom ] but it had great sound http://youtube.com/watch?v=bndryPrsMhM so i will definitely have that
