I just went and bought a new 50 pack of DVD-Rs but there seems to be a problem. I cant seem to burn anything on the Maxells. I put the disk in that i want to burn to, start Nero, choose the the mode that i want to use (usually burning an image to disk). After that i change the speed, depending if it's not already on the speed i want. Then i click BURN. WHen i do that it spits the disk back out. Thats not the only program thats not able to read these DVD-RS. :tazz: I burn DVDS almost 75% of the day, everyday. but that was when i was using Memorex DVDS. I noticed that these new DVDS are blue on the reading side, when in fact the Memorex DVDS are the average silver/clear color. Could that be the problem with my device? I need some help or advice if someone can help me. Thanks

HI. The simple truth is, some dvd media is better than others and not all media will work in all drives. If you found one that works for you, stick with it. If you decide to try another brand, it may be best not to get a 50 pack and end up with a bunch of coasters for your coffee cup. There is good info on media, drives, etc at
