Dvd recorder will not erase - Lite On LITEON 16X DVD BLACK OEM (Come With Software) (D11663VM) DVD Drive

You can't erase a CD/DVD+R as they are write once - CD/DVD + RW can be erased
DVD formatsShort for Short for DVD-Recordable, a recordable DVD format similar to CD-R. A DVD-R can only record data once and then the data becomes permanent on the disc
hope it helps

format disk under windows..if that's what you have as an option..this will not provide the same density, however, as a manufactured disk

The DVD has burned incorrectly and the data has likely corrupted somewhat to the point where the DVD player/writer can't read it. You may be able to watch it on your computer with a DVD drive. Try saving it to your computer, then erasing the disc and trying to record something short to it and play it back - if it plays back, it's likely to have been a recording problem, however, if you get the same problem, it may be a dodgy disc, a faulty DVD player/writer, or a format problem. Try this, in order left to right. Copy DVD to PC -> Erase DVD -> Record on DVD from TV -> Play back If plays back Erase DVD -> Continue as normal If not Buy DVD-RW (emphasis on the minus) -> Try using that If that works continue as normal, otherwise... Return the DVD player/writer under warranty for repair/replacement.

To erase a DVD, you need to use the recorder software.

For most common like NERO, you can see it here, for example:

You can also do it using DVDInfoPro > Erase/Format DVD±RW

HDMI refers to High Definition Multiple Interface. I is a cord made to carry both High Def audio as well as video. Erasing the dvd can be done by a computer software, typically Nero, but I would suggest contacting Customer service to find out if the recorder is capabale of erasing RW media.

TRY USING A DVD LASER LENS CLEANER

HI WE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. THE SOLUTION WAS CLEANING THE DISC. IT APPEARS JUST TINY FLECKS OF DUST AND GREASY FINGER PRINTS CAN CAUSE HAVOC! GOOD LUCK
