HELP!! Why Won't My DVD-R Drive Work????

I have 2 separate Powerbook 1GHz G3 Powerbooks with OS 9.2.2 and OS
10.3.9.

I have BLANK DVD+R Discs made by Sony and Verbatim. 4.7 GBS, 120 minutes.

I have recorded on these drives before, but now they don't work.

They will READ DVDS fine, but when I put in the BLANK Sony or Verbatim
DVD+R discs, in either OS X.3.9 or OS 9.2.2, the DVD-R drive won't
recognize them at all and spits them out no matter what I do.

It says they are unrecognizable as DVD media.

The drives record CD-Rs fine.


What's the issue? The DVDs are made by separate manufacturers, but
neither brand works.


Please help.

Ummm... there are DVD-R drives, that require DVD-R discs, DVD+R drives
that require DVD+R discs, and DVD-R/+R drives that will read either sort
of disc.

For a long time, Apple Superdrives where DVD-R only.

See if you can trade them for DVD-R discs... there are two types because
that's business- think VHS vs Beta. For the next generation, there's a
similar struggle going on-- again, two incompatible formats: Blu-Ray vs
HD-DVD.

Good article, but with one glaring factual error: There are not, nor
have there ever been, CD+R discs.
