DVD+R problem
« on: July 19, 2005, 12:54:18 PM »
So, my laptop is an HP Pavilion ZD7000 with a Toshiba 16X DVD+RW drive.

I just bought a 50 pack of Memorex DVD+R 8X discs (they were cheap since they were only 8x)

But roxio ezdvd rejects the disc!

anyone know why?

This is gonna sound dumb, but pull a disk from the middle of the pile. I have had issues where the top 2-3 disks are bad. Since then I have gone DVD-R all the way.. Not to mention thats all my power book can handle writing anyway.

Whoa....for a second I thought Tomb had somehow come back. Then I saw the date of the original post..../me wipes brow
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!
