Why is Imgburn requesting that I format the disc?

Hi -

 

I bought Phillips DVD+R 120 minute 16X speed discs and every single one of them won't work. Imgburn is telling me that the disc needs to be formatted. Is there a way to fix this problem?

Copy + paste the disc info text from the box on the right when you're in Write mode please.

 

If the program is asking you to format it, the drive is misreporting something (i.e. it doesn't understand the disc). A firmware update for the drive may fix the problem.

I will try that, thank you for your help!

It isn't working. I think I might have gotten a bad batch of discs. I don't know what else it can be, unless it is because of the new update of Imgburn. I am going to buy a different brand tomorrow and see if it works. The last bunch of discs I had, I didn't have this problem. Any other suggestions?

It would help if you posted the disc info I asked for earlier. I can't suggest anything else until I know what I'm dealing with.

Sorry, I guess I missed that part. But I bought new discs and it is working just fine now. So my problem is solved, it was the discs. I bought 50 of them and none of the worked. Thanks again for the help and have a good day.
