I'm a fairly new person when it comes to burning DVDs - have had a dual- layer NEC drive (IDE) installed since earlier in the month. I have been able to burn dvd+rw media fine - but when it comes to DVD+R there seems to be recent errors -- the disk is not recognized by the drive, it seems. But I have been successful (at least once) writing a DVD+R early on. I'm using the same 100 pk of generic no-name 4xmax DVD+R disks and not getting any further, although I tried to google for posts with the same or similar error messages, what I got was not helpful (including some sites in .it I just couldn't access, for whatever reason).
