When you say they won't work, what isn't happening? Are you not able to erase them?

With Toast 6, I would just...
Hit burn and insert the RW media when prompted and it would write disc.
Just as if I was burning a standard CD/DVD.

With Toast 7.1.2...
I hit burn, insert RW media when prompted and it spits it back out with the message to insert blank disc.

Is there something I have to do differently with the new Toast?
It's not the burner because if I open Toast 6 and burn with RW media its fine   Go figure!

Any help would be very much appreciated!

P.S. I am running a dual 2gb processor G4 with OSX 10.4.7

It sounds like the drive is not recognizing the media. Was your experience with Toast 6 on the same Mac that you are running Toast 7?

If the disc was previously written to it must be erased (I suggest Quick Erase) before it is recordable again. But if it never has been written to you should be able to just start burning to the disc.

When the DVD-RW is inserted, choose Disc Info from the Recorder menu. What does it say about the disc?
