I have an old i-mac flat screen, with a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-108. For the last 6 years it has worked perfectly, no problems, but lately it will not make my home movie DVDs, Ican select all the menu options etc, but when I ask it to burn DVD it goes through the process, perhaps 40 minutes, then ejects and tells me that I have error no. 8. It will however burn cds rom files ie fotos Anybody know what error 8 is. Thanks Napper

    Yes I've tried a few brands. I have also had a disc which finished , and ejected as if it was happy, but wouldn't play.
    Thanks for the interest

My 3 year old DVD will play but no longer recognise any blank DVD - instead it tells me it is an unknown disk. All my blank DVDs cannot be dud???

A batch of Pioneer DVDRW back from 2004/2005 seem to fault after an unspecified amount of time passes by. I had one of those myself, but still keep since it reads normal DVDs perfectly. If you have access to another PC you could try swapping the DVDRW and see if it works normally on that PC (instead of going the lengthy way of backing up/ formatting your PC.) If it does not work, time to move on and buy another one.
