I bought 100 pack of Memorex DVD+R's, the dvd player pops up and says that the DVD's are not recordable. Why?

I buy the DVD's and a friend records them for me since I don't have that capability. But I would check out these links: http://forums.support.roxio.com/topic/29636-disc-in-burner-not-recordable-help-please/ and also http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/dvd-burner-says-disc-is-not-recordable-dvd.162056/ I assume it may be a software program glitch. If using a computer, I'm not computer savvy enough to say for sure. If using an external DVD recording device - - I don't know. Sorry I couldn't be or more help.

Thank you Frolian. I've been trying to burn a DVD for a couple hours, and I didn't know until you shared. I have DVD+R DVDs. You're my hero!!

You can't record with a DVD player. Try one of the excellent DirecTV DVR's for excellent quality recordings.

I suggest you contact Amazon right away! Inform them of your problem & they should refund your full purchase. They did for me & told me to just keep the product or throw it out.If you still want to convert your old videos, I'd suggest checking the Honestech VHS to DVD package. I eventually went with it from Amazon. Unfortunately you just missed a Gold Box deal a few days ago, but it's the best & easiest to use that I could find. Even at regular price it;s still a good deal. Good Luck & repost when you succeed. Mike

I always buy the blank DVDs from Costco, which I believe is TDK brand, which has never ever posed a problem, they are always -R never ever used +R simply because it won't work with most DVD players. The DVDs have always worked well, only that Magnovox just gives up after a period. So it is basically the recorder not the DVDs. Trust that answers your question.

I can't answer this question because I have not been able to record on them. The DVD recorder says there is not enough space to record, and none of my burners can recognize or pick up that a DVD is inserted. I have tried different one including Roxio and nothing recognizes them. Other DVDs work with no problem but these have turned out to be no good for some reason or another.

This happened to me as well, when trying to play a home-burned DVD-R on an older Sony DVD player. Many of the players that are more than about 5 years old don't seem to recognize DVD-R burned discs, only commercial "pressed" DVDs. The only thing I was able to do was buy an inexpensive newer DVD player (I got a new Sony player for about $40) and it plays all of my home-burned discs just fine.

Hi there, DVD-R stands for Recordable. DVD+R stands for Rewritable. +R = you can use again but they cost more. I'm sorry but I have not tried that feature on these.

Double layer DVD's only have room for 3&3\4 hrs recording time not 4hrs. RW DVD's have multi format time/data record capability. Check the recorder manual to see it has this capability. Some later models probably have this capability. I am a fan of Sony DVD recorders. Sony set the standards and capablities, be wary of other brands. Some recorders are sensitive to DVD manufactures. Knowing your equipment is an absolute must. Happy times are ahead.

Yes you can use DVD+R and DVD-R discs and many others had no problems they all work great, as far as brand i use Memorex have had no problems with them not a big fan of Sony discs tho had problems with them in the past, and yes you can watch recorded DVD's.

Darlene: You've probably already figured it out by now, but I'm going to post this reply for anyone else who may be having the same problem. While in DVD mode (the green light above "DVD" is lit up, push the "Rec Mode" button on your remote control. It is the button just to the left of the red "Record" button. Each time you press that a new record speed will appear on your screen. It cycles through each one and then goes back to the beginning and will even tell you how many minutes you have left on that disc to record with at that speed.

I prefer to use DVD-RW media...it also works. But as the previous poster said you have to finalize the DVD in the recorder. After that you can use any DVD player.

You can use DVD+R discs. There is no real difference between DVD+R and DVD-R essentially they are the same. Yes you can watch recorded DVD's.

I just googled R,R+W and found out that R can only be recorded on once, R+W can be recorded, erased and recorded several times. I've only used R+W for years, never had a problem. However I have found that Memorex discs just fail after an extended period, but the price is usually better. I know that doen't help you with your Rs. Sorry.

not sure if it's still an issue, but you could try copying the dvds on your computer and playing the copies in your dvd player.

We do not use this one any more, but we always used the remote that came with the VCR (or what ever you have) to play back what you recorded. Also try clicking the VCR button and see if it plays it for you. None of the remotes have a LIST button. You have to write on the disc so that you know what is recorded on it.
