This sounds like a silly question, but I successfully burnt a ripped movie to a DVD-RW. But when I try and erase it either "quick" or "full" using either Nero or Prassi, it fails with an error just saying that it completed with errors.

The disk is then unusable. You can't add anymore to it and subsequent erases have the same error. In other words a coaster.

Anyone got any ideas, are there any specific formatting tools I can use or disc recovery programs etc..

please help!

garym,
Me thinks that these forums are for things other than basic computer 101,

your help button on your computer will tell you to "right click" your DVD drive (with the disc inserted) under "My Computmer" and click "Format"
"P"
