I'm using a Philips DVD8601 that came with my Dell Dimension 8400. I'm burning on Verbatim DVD+RW. I'm trying to use the same disc over and over again. Do I need to erase the previous recordings before I burn again? If so, how do I erase them?

Thanks

You do not have to erase +RW, it will just burn over it.

The reason I erase my DVD-RW's is I add the AVI's as a data DVD.
Which my player is compatible with Xvid/DivX files.

When I put in the DVD-RW Nero treats it like a multi-session DVD and has me add the files to it. Which my player will not read multi-session DVD's. So That is why I have to erase the DVD-RW. Yes I know I could close the session after adding the files but I always forget to close it.

If you have a DVD-RW that is closed then yes it should record over it.
