There are a number of different things that can cause the problems you're having. It could be the discs, the burner or the equipment you're watching the discs on.

 

It would help if you could post the log from one of your burns.

 

One other thing, please don't use all capital letters when posting. It makes it appear as if you are SHOUTING!

just a small comment from Googleing the media

 

"INFODISC = Infodisc Media = (+RW) 3RD CLASS MEDIA Quality can be very questionable, about 50-80% ... "

I also have used +r. My drive will not write on -r . is there an adjustment that can be made to record on other media such as -r?

[Shamus_McFartfinger]

It?s a +R drive and basically, you?re stuck with it. With hardware being as cheap as it is these days I?d seriously consider buying a new drive that supports multiple formats. I?m guessing the drive you presently have was fitted with your Dell computer when you bought it?

[lfcrule1972]

There is still decent DVD+R media available, a lot has been tested here in the forum, see my signature for a link to the Drive/Media Test forum for information on different media.....

 

As Shamus said with drives being so cheap these days you might just want to get a DVD?R burner and then you can burn to decent media in either format.
