Thanks for the suggestions on printing the DVD's.
I do have a problem though.
Burning this type of DVD.
I can Burn any other dvd in my dvd burner but this one.
I can burn and print light scribe in the light scribe CD/DVD burner and burn Printable CD in the burner..and print on my Epson RX-580.
I just can not burn the DVD.
Any suggestions would be great.
I have a Gatewat GT5432, 2 GB Ram, 300Gb hard drive.
Anyhelp would be appreciated.

Download this free program and try to ID those blank discs,and it'll also reveal your burner's model # and current firmware version.

Are you getting an illegal disc error?
What's the brand name/format/and rated speed of your media?
Most likely a firmware issue. Especially if your dvd-rw drive is old and you're using the newer/faster 16x media.Your drive may not know how to properly burn that batch of media and hopefully there's a newer firmware update for it that we can look up for you. That usually does the trick,if the manufacturer of your drive releases the updates.

Okay I bought:
1. Memorex Printable dvd
2. Maxell Printable dvd
3. Verbatim Printable dvd
None of it worked.
I gave a Memorex Printable blank disc and a Verbatim Printable blank disc to a friend at work and he was able to burn straight from his computer with no problem.
I bought a 500 Gb hard drive, reinstalled Vista and tried it again.
Still no luck.
The computer is a Gateway 5432
I use:
1. Roxio Media Creator 9
2. Windows MCE
3. Windows movie/DVD Maker
4. Windows Media Player
All four of these programs burn a +R DVD with no problem. Example Eureka Season 1 or 2 straight off my hard drive.
They just will not burn a Printable +R DVD.
I bought the computer brand new in April 2007 from Circuit City
I checked for the Firmware and I have the most updated firmware.

I finally got into a 10 trial pk of those babies and they look phenomenal. 10x better than my Full hub matte verb/maxells.
Species IV is the Watershield,and Live free is the matte FH maxell.
My photo doesn't do those 2 discs justice.
I will be ordering these from now on, since the price came down considerably in the last year.

I went on ebay a couple weeks ago. I saw 10 pks for $12 and thought it was a good deal,just to test them out. A little over a buck apiece when I looked at them a year ago. I didn't care for how the dealer shipped them to me: Small envelope,each in a paper sleave,with no carboard on the outsides. It's a wander none of them broke.
Now they're $36 a 50 pk,not counting shipping here:

$5 to $10 above that at meritline and supermediastore.com

What printing dimensions are you using? I've gone through a couple of packs now, and I still can't do edge printing. It leaves a white line around the outer edge. Do you have the same problem? I couldn't really tell on those pics, can you take a macro shot of the edge.

20 and 119 outer is where I kept all my full hub matte's.
I also use generic ink.
I double checked that watershield backup and and there's a 1 mm white ring on the outer-very hard to distinguish. It does look twice as better than my original Species IV disc!!!!!
I just took my outer up to 120 mms so hopefully that takes care of that issue.
Macro?
My pc of crap Kodak camera is lucky enough to take a non blurry photo, LOL. I'm hoping santa brings me a new one!!!
I'll try to back something up tomorrow and see if it looks better,and a close up if possible.
I've got about 75 more Maxell Full hubs to use up before I order the 50 pk of Ty WS's.

Lol, seems like you need to shop for a new camera. For some reason it does print on the edge, but the ink smears off.

I tested out my 2nd watershield using a lighter cover from my daughter's Scooby Doo video. The matte full hubs were very disappointing with the lighter covers-which consisted of 50% white background. The cover on that water shield looks fantastic!!!
I will be ordering a 50 pk shortly.
BTW: After adj the outer from 119 mms to 120 mms,I still had a slight white ring around the outer edge,but on the very edge,there was excess ink on it. Must be something on that part of the edge that won't allow the ink to adhere?
No biggie.The white circle isn't noticeable and no reason for me to stop using water shields.

I have been using these for awhile now along with the glossy verbs, and the printing looks outstanding, havent tried to see if the TY is waterproof like they claim, see no need to take the chance.
Ken
Verb"s are number 1
Anything else second rate

I just ordered two 50 packs of these Ty Watershields from Rima.com. #31.00 each + $7.14 ups ground ship total $69.14. That's a better price than what I paid for them a year ago. It is true that the outter edge even at 120mm will remain somewhat white due to the fact that the ink does not adhere well to the very edge. Even so, to me they make the best looking backup. I tried the glossy Verbatims and they look great too and no white on the outter edge but they are no match for the Ty's. They have no protection from water at all, cost more, and there is a note in the fine print on the packeging that tells you not to put them in a binder as the finish can stick to plastic binder. I believe that as a week later the finish still has a sticky feel as though it never completely dries properly to the touch. They have a very smooth finish but are not quite as glossy as the Watershields. I always use 20mm inner and 120mm outter with the Ty's to minimize the white edging.

I'll probably stick with these TY watershields.They make the Matte finish verbatim and maxell look totally crappy.
Being dash,that's the only drawback to them. I can live with that small 1/4 mm white ring.
I also don't want to test them for their waterproofing, LOL.

Any of you Ty Watershield users been running any scans on those backups?
I just ran 1 and scored a 94. Way under par for me.
Here's one burned at 8x:
Still a near original quality during playback. I may have to fish around for the proper burn speed for them.Hopefully solidburn will kick in after some more burns.
I picked up a 100 pk for $65 to split with a buddy.Supermediastore.com had free shipping last week and they were delivered very quickly.
My covers look better than the originals.

Does anyone know when or if Taiyo Yuden are going to start making Dual Layer disc. My primary use for the DL discs are for Xbox 360 backups, but I want something to look like the originals or better. Or does anyone know if there are even any Glossy DL discs out there and what name brand? Just need something close to Verbatims playback quality, and these discs print quality put together. Also does anyone know if they are going to make this disc in a Dual Layer ever? Come on TY start making DLs!!

Only 1 of my sources has generic ink for the Epson Stylus Photo R-260:
http://www.bidabit.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?...YLUS-PHOTO-R260
$27 per set. I'm not sure who the manufacturer or store reputation. They had great prices for individual carts for my R200 and R300.
Good Luck
Edit: Read the fine print. May not work in printers made after June 17,2007. Be cautious.
