-=PCTechTalk=- Re: weird! dvd burner thoughts?

Hi Cris,
some DVD burners will only burn certain types
I have a Toshiba Stand alone DVD & VHS Burner copier
When I bough it I made sure it would do + and -
When it died during warantee Toshiba replace it.

But the new one would not burn to the package of 100,
96 left of DVD + DVD's I had bought at the same time.
I paid over $3 each for then back then.

My exteral USB DVD Lightscribe DVD burner needs 
- DVD only.

This is a good FAQ:

I have a dvd burner in my desktop.
I bought a 100 pack of dvd-R's and used them . (actually, 2 
100 packs, but my son took one). I think they were TDK - but 
not positive.

I had to buy dvd+R's for my laptop.

I bought a 50 pack of sony dvd-R's for the desktop.

tonight my daughter put in one of the new dvd-R's to burn - 
she tried several things to burn - it said incorrect media. 
so she grabbed a dvd+R from my laptop - and it burned.

this makes NO sense whatsoever.

Does anyone have any thoughts?
If you're going to ask me what brand the dvd player is on 
here - tell me how I can find that info out! I don't know 
offhand.

I am going to try the new sony's in my son's computer to see 
if they work.
If they don't, then I have a brandy new pack of sony DVD-R's 
that are now opened and have been purchased for several 
months anyway - that I can't use!!

anyway - thought I should pop in anyway - it's been a 
while!! <smile)
