Burn to DVD+RW

[zehavi]

Hello,
I am using VS10+, and not able to burn on SAMSUNG DVD+RW.
No problem to burn on TDK DVD-R.
I wonder if somebody is familier with that problem.
Thanks,
Abraham

Hi

I doubt if your problem is associated with video editing or Video Studio.
It is most likely to be a compatibility issue between your DVD media and your burner.

Do a search on the web for your burner and check the disc compatibility.
Most/all manufacturers make this information available.

Thank you Trevor,
You are absolutely right, I have tried the verbatim dvd+rw and it works well.

My advice regarding RW discs is don't use them.
Very rare you get problems with a "R" disc R-/R+
But my experience of using re-writeable discs - on several computers using several different burners and also several different software packages, several different brands of disc - has always been the same.

On first use they are as good as a "R" disc.
On subsequent burns the quality drops dramatically as though they never wipe the previous burns completely.

If you want to test a DVD prior to burning then burn to a hard drive folder.
If you simply want to watch something once on your TV set and then discard it - most if not all the new flat screen TV sets double up as computer monitors. Simply run a VGA cable from your computer to the TV set.
Many graphics cards even have HDMI outputs now so you could use that in place of a VGA cable.

What do you use to watch the video after it's been burned to your hard drive's folders (VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS)?

Thanks again all of you.
I am now much more clever, and will continue to use only the +R or -R
