Troubleshooting Burning DVD-R

First off, I would like to say that DVD-R is not necessarily better than DVD+R. Some older DVD burners would only recognize DVD-Rs and thus had to use that format.

Now on with your problem. There is a possibility that you got a bad batch of DVD-Rs. I had that happen to me once. I had a 50 pack spindle and not a one of em worked. I got a different spindle of the same brand but a different lot, and they worked fine.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
