June 6, 200817 yr More on my DVD saga. I've come to the conclusion it's got nothing t do with the discs but the dvd recorder. :arrr: More expense then TT. :( It's never ending.
June 6, 200817 yr :arrr: 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!!!!!! :wacko: :( if you look at the front of your dvd recorder it will have DVD+ or DVD- so you would need to buy DVD disc's with the same symbol [+ or -] on it ...if it has +/- it can take any...i hope that makes sense :P Edit: the writing can be very small so you will have to look very carefully :D Edited June 6, 200817 yr by sunday
June 6, 200817 yr Can't you go on line to ask the manufacturer which discs you should be using? What is the make of the recorder? Edited June 6, 200817 yr by Pearl

June 6, 200817 yr 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. 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 Have you changed your DVD recorder recently TT because i sent you DVD+RW [the proms] so if that worked you might 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. :wacko: :unsure: 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. :wacko:

June 6, 200817 yr I believe DVDs (whether they are -R or +R) will play on most recorders as long as they are finalised.

Like you I've been testing out the equipment ready for Will being back on the scene. We got the dvd free when we bought our new tv about 18months ago but have never used it. Guess it doesn't owe us anything but I'm not sure hubby will see the importance of buying another one just for Will especially as we already have another dvd that is play only & a playstation that plays discs.. :unsure: I believe DVDs (whether they are -R or +R) will play on most recorders as long as they are finalised. I'm sure you are right Pearl. It's getting the discs accepted in the first place that seems to be the problem. :( At least Will is giving me plenty of time to sort the problem.

Good luck to you sunday. :D

June 7, 200817 yr Bit pricey! :o Thank goodness I'm not into exercising. Mind you I wouldn't mind running across a few fields. :P ;) Well maybe if Will had done lots more outdoor events this summer i might not have needed to think about paying out so much http://bestsmileys.com/exercising/5.gif
June 7, 200817 yr Bit pricey! :o Thank goodness I'm not into exercising. Mind you I wouldn't mind running across a few fields. :P ;) I couldn't even do that at the moment TT - not even with Will at the end as an incentive. :lol: Only just managed it at Killerton. :rolleyes:
June 7, 200817 yr I couldn't even do that at the moment TT - not even with Will at the end as an incentive. :lol: Only just managed it at Killerton. :rolleyes: 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 :dance: so hopefully you will get to see it
