Hi everybody,
I have just fitted a new Philips DVD 16 speed dual layer writer into my machine where my old CD Rom was. When I go into my computer it says DVD RW until I put a blank DVD into the tray. It does not appear to recognise the DVD writer then. Any ideas what to do here? The device manager says the DVD writer is working properly!
Also, when I managed to burn something onto a DVD-R disc and put it into my normal DVD player atached to the TV it will not play even though the player is compatible with DVD-R discs. Again, what have I done wrong, if anything?
Cheers for any help.

Just because your DVD says it is compatible, doesn't mean to say it is with all DVD's. They are all different quality. If find my bedroom DVD which is supposed to be DVD- only, does not play them, but works with DVD+ :doh

Are you using Nero or something to write with?
