DVD questions

[raydeon]

I am trying to copy scanned pictures ( in .Tiff format) on to DVD. I get a message : Windows does not support this CD-RW format. To use this disc. choose the task "Erase this CD-RW"", which will erase the disc so that Windows can use it. I tried that and did not succeed.

I have tried copying files in the Jpeg format and also get the same message.

I have a DVD burner in my computer model LG GSA-H10A 16X DVD+-RW 16X Dual Layer Writer. I have no problems copying above files onto CDs using that drive.

Any idea of what the problem might be?

It sounds like you have a bad DVD.
I bought a pack of 25 Memorex DVD's and 2 of them simply didnt work

Memorex has a higher rate of bad disks..try another brand to see if that fixes your problem.

It's not reading the proper disc format

That is a statement. That does not gives an answer to my problem.

I have tried several different disks of different makes: DVD-R, DVD+Rw etc..
By the way those disks work fine on my DVD video recorder.

I tried several time to burn cd on dvd burner. I ahd problems lately, but since I have a 2nd computer with a cd burner I use the the 2nd one. I am trying to figure what it could be myself and I have a list.
1. Defrag the HD
2. Can't read blank CD although it may be good
3. Virus on computer, or burning software has issues.., which may not be noticeable at most times.
4. Buying name brand CD didn't help me at all.

You can't burn to DVD from Windows directly, it doesn't know how to burn DVDs, just CDs. You need a program like Nero to do this. It probably came for free with the DVD drive or your PC. Check the disks that came with the computer or DVD burner.

Thanks l69norm. I forgot that the DVD drive came with a CD. I just looked at it. It has a whole bunch of utilities on it, Power DVD, Nero.....and a manual.
I installed the drive last year and only used so far for CD's so I didn't need to use that disk. I put it away and forgot about it.

Now I need to find time to set it up....hopefully in the next few days.
