Cynthia Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Hi and welcome to the forum, EllenMac10! This is your problem W 01:19:49 Reason: Cannot Write Medium - Incompatible Format I 01:19:45 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: RITEK-S04-66) (Speeds: 2.4x) Your burner doesn't like the brand of discs. Try with Verbatim 2,4x rated discs as they seems to be most compliant with burners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllenMac10 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Cleaning disc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Memorex-CD-DVD-Playe...r/dp/B00008EM7U You should be able to find this in shops near you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 You could also try with a topz (or what they are called in English) + 100% alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllenMac10 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 It can burn music and such in that drive just not DVDs. Is that a different part or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Technically, DVD writing is a lot more difficult than CD wrtiting, so that's why you start getting errors burning DVDs. Also, on a laptop drive the lens are more exposed, therefore more likely to get dirty easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
