Rabbit4Heisman Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 ..I'm trying to burn video files into a blank DVD-R discs, using DivX because they support .avi files. Well this happens alot to my DVD-R discs, it says that the disc isn't empty. My drivers are running properly. Anybody know what's causing this? Should I get new discs or what?

Beckster24 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I have a lot of problems with -R discs, I found when I moved to +R discs they worked a lot better, no problems at all. I find Verbatim DVD+R discs are the best Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/20682-dvd-burning-issues/#findComment-251153 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAM Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 taiyo- yuden are the best dvd +/- r's you can buy for future reference. i havent found too much difference between a +r or -r as far as burns go. i rarely lose a disk. before - r's were more popular because they were supported by most standalone players than +r. nowadays newer dvd players play almost all formats. fyi- the average life of a pc dvd burner is around 1000 burns...

Shiggins Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 my burner has done about 70 Burns in 8 months ... so it should last me till new DVD Burners come out Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/20682-dvd-burning-issues/#findComment-251643 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAM Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 really!?! you would think it would be able to do alot more yep good thing you can pick one up now for around $40-$50 i remember when they first came out a few years back and they were right around $500! 1000 burns is a lot though. i do about 10 burns a week (i'm a movie fanatic) so figure a $40 lite-on dvd burner will last around 2 years. i recommend having a seperate cd burner and dvd burner to save on wear and tear. although in 2 years the cd may well be obsoloete. i only recommend lite-on drives also. remember one other thing there's only a few dvd burner manufacturers (lite-on is one of them). the other companies just buy the drives from them and put their logo on them. so lets say you want to buy a sony dvd burner but it's $10 more than say a lite-on. well guess what? it's the same drive! only difference is sony bought the drive from lite-on and put their sony logo on it.
