dna	This is probably a stupid question but, can a DVD+RW drive read a DV-RW disc after it has been burned? (Cause it ain't reading it now) Also, is there a modification that can make a DVD+RW specific drive read a blank DVD-RW Disc? -=-=- DNA

Scherererer	does the drive say its just DVD+RW specific and not DVD-RW? Generally the only place I see issues with compatibility is on DVD players for a TV. Is it an old burner? -=-=- YouTube Twitter Computer Science Series: Logic (pt1) (part 2) (part 3) 2's Complement Mathematics: Basic Differential Calculus

dna	the drive does not recognize a blank DVD-RW disc but it will recognize a blank DVD+RW. I never knew that there was a hardware difference for DVD recorders. If there is a patch for this I'd like to know since my stack of 100 16x dvd-RWs is useless. Best Buys will not exchange them. I'll never shop there again. -=-=- DNA

Jayenkai	Eeek! Yeah, the two formats (+/-) were developed by different companies. After a while, most burners would support both formats, but you still get some that don't. (A lot like the current Blu/HD thing) Sorry to say, but I don't think it's going to be possible to make them compatible. It's a lazer thing, IIRC. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Scherererer	Yeah, unfortunately there's not just a simple software patch that will fix it, sorry Just be careful to only buy DVD+RW is the best I can tell you -=-=- YouTube Twitter Computer Science Series: Logic (pt1) (part 2) (part 3) 2's Complement Mathematics: Basic Differential Calculus

dna	Instinct, both you and Jay are correct. The manufacturer just replied and they confirm what you say. I cannot believe that. Oh well, maybe I'll go to Ebay with the discs. -=-=- DNA
