Any types DVD dics that have DVD+R copying writing to the dvd disc to it only one time only or DVD+RW eraseable old materials buy copying some else on it.
The problem isn't with the motor being too weak, but the belt which the motor drives. I had the EXACT problem just as you described. What I did was I took off the belt and cleaned it with rubbing alcohol because apparently the belt picked up some of the grease from the gears and wouldn't rotate when the motor spinned. This belt actually pulls down the mechanism, on which the CD sits, from the magnet. So, just clean the belt and you should be good to go. If the belt is very loose, you might need to replace it.
I use Verbatim (DataLifePlus) DVD+RW Rewritable dvds and I have recorded over 35 dvds and never had a problem. If I remember correctly, I bought them at BestBuy.
If it is the same problem as mine, the drive belt is old and worn and is slipping- therefor the tray will not open. I found this out after I removed the metal cover, and the screws holding the DVD assembly to reveal the motor, pulleys, and drive belt. Now the real problem is to find a replacement belt. Possibly a o-ring the proper size may work, as they are quite easy to find. The original belt has a square cross section, whereas an o-ring has a round cross section, but should work well enough.
I just found out that a 1mm x 25mm O-Ring will work perfectly for belt.
