Format Dvd-Rw Using Creator 2010 Pro

[peter p]

I need to format dvd-rw disks as they have been formated previously by our panasonic dvd recorder and will no longer take ordinary data etc. I cannot see anything in the program that will allow me to do this. Can someone please advise?

I am using creator 2010 Pro.

 

Thanks

'Formatting' was only done for the old packet writing system which is no longer used

 

 

Try using 'erase disc' which should be in the 'tools' menu

Thanks for reply

 

I have used the erase disc from the tools menu but although the disks show empty they will not allow anything to be recorded onto them.

I know they want formatting as this happened before (some time ago) and as soon as i formatted them all was ok.

The problem is i cannot remember how i formatted them.

You don't format Optical Media to use in Roxio...

 

Anything you 'remember' was made obsolete in 2007.

 

Throw a disc in and look at it with Tools - Get Disc Info.

 

What does it say about the disc?

 

And exactly HOW are you attempting to write these disc's?
