Delete CDs/DVDs

Tried to erase a DVD+RW.

I've chosen quick erase but ImgBurn says,

it has to do a full erase first before I

can do a quick one (hm, don't know the sense of doing a quick

after a full erase).

Nero does this in seconds - quick erase was no problem :whistling:

As you can see...

 

Formatted: No (Started)

 

... that disc hasn't been formatted properly.

 

It's only when you format properly that you detect errors *anywhere* on the disc... and your drive detects one when you format with ImgBurn (because it does it properly)

 

Simply not checking for or being told about an error (a.k.a. Nero style) does not mean it worked!

 

Buy some better DVD+RW discs - i.e. Verbatim ones.

 

You should also update the firmware on your drive - http://www.firmwarehq.com/Sony/DW-G121A/files.html

I have this problem just with that LG equipment.

DVDs I recorded with it work fine in every DVD-player,

but I just can delete those DVDs LG recorder or Nero.

So, it can't be a problem with the DVDs, because they are alright,

with all other recorded stuff (without LG).
