i am trying to use AnyDVD and CloneDVD but I am having a problem when it comes time to burn it does not recognize my media when it is inserted into the drive.
I have tried Sony DVD-R & DVD+R that work with no problem in my other computer.
I have a Philips CD/DVD RW SCB5265 drive

If your drive does not recognize your blank media, its possible that you might need to upgrade your firmware.

Always use good quality blank media. Verbatim is always a good call. Don't be seduced by those 50-spindles you find in the $2.99 bin at your local car wash! :)

Deffently a drive problem......

I can tell you right now what your problem is. It is a CD-RW/DVD combo. Which means it burns CD-RW but only reads DVD's not burn them.

If you are interested in getting a DVD-burner you should look at newegg they usually have a model from BenQ available for $30 or so and BenQ is a dependable/trustworthy brand.

BenQ's are excellent. I have a Philips DVD8701. It's a rebadged BenQ 1640 and it's an amazing drive!

Same here I was given a I/O Mega drive as a gift. It turned out to be a rebadged BenQ 1620 Pro. Many I love that drive does every format + and - even Dual Layer burns!!
