Run the Nero Info Tool
It will tell you what your burner can do and also the firmware version.

The firmware info page.

RW media can be trickier on stand alone players. R media is easier for them to read.

If you don't have Nero,then this free program will tell us all the info we need:

This is the site where you can look up your stand alone players specs,and even feedback from other peeps with the same player:

Post back the brand name,model#,and current firmware version of your DVD-RW drive.

Also post back the Media code (MID code)of your media.


Players can have trouble with a certain: format,MID coded media,burn engine,sticker labels,and even certain burners.

The best way to avoid this compatability issue is to booktype the plus format to dvd-rom.A booktyping capable drive,the plus format is superior by a landslide. In a non booktyping drive,the dash format is superior.

Post back that info and we'll tell you if your drive has that capability.
