What DVD RW+ disc to use

xxxdarlingxxx

Hi there

I have a Hikona TVDV 1001 DVD player and it will not play a Verbatium RW+ dics that I have burned using Cyberlink Power2Go. It says "Wrong Disc". I have read online that it will not play Memorex discs either.

I just got this Cyberlink programme free with my new laptop.

Are there disc brands that "usually" work ?

or

Should I buy a better DVD burner programme.

Windows Vista's DVD maker will not burn the movies I have

Many thanks for any advice

Dont use RW

Use WRITABLES only....... DVD-R

I'm not familiar with this brand, but a lot of DVD players won't read DVD-RW discs. Try a DVD-R instead. And check the manual to see what types it will accept. Verbatim is a premium brand, if it won't read that Idoubt it will read anything else.

Thank you I will buy some DVD-R discs to try.

I will try them aliEnRIK, I am guessing Maplin will have a decent selection to try.

Thanks for posting

I'd suggest you keep clear of whatever cheapies they have at the moment, can be a bit iffy.

Verbatim disks are probably the best ones I've used that are available on the High Street.

Any disc with a Ritek dye is usually a good bet. Try your local independant computer shop, they should be able to advise you and might even be able to sell you a few discs for you to test without having to buy a full spindle.

Disks with Ritek dyes are often at best pretty average in quality:

Is this a decent disc Marty. What particular disc do you go for.

I noticed another selling this particular dvd-r disc for this http://www.mouse2house.co.uk/product-T177-2947-Verbatim+DVD+R+8x+Branded+Hard+Coat+Protection+Black+Non+Print+Surface+Jewel+Case+++5+Pack.html?utm_id=43581&utm_source=Googlebase&utm_medium=feeds&utm_term=Googlebase&utm_content=Googlebase&utm_nooverride=1&%24%24tid=168lgR-SRT5A00nDw9B5KlGUeHHFnPqWP4GXJv1EC32OBHwe6TQ03713sH8bCqcb

A big difference in price.
