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 \ said: 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.
