    I have no problem burning movies on to DVD+RW on my PC, but I don't know how to delete them so I can reuse the disk either with my PC or stand alone DVD player.I've tried right clicking on the folder the movie is in and clicking delete but it says:'files on this dvd drive are read only. you cannot copy or move files over to this dvd drive'. Any advice?

    If you have nero you can use it to wipe the disc clean.

    if you are using Windows versions 98 on up to XP, then you can format your DVD+RW disk and it will wipe out anything that is written on the disk!

    go to My Computer
    right click on the DVD writer (with your disk inside)
    click format!

    that will do it........ I think you also need DLA in your computer to do this! I'm not sure but it has always worked for me.

    You can also use Decrypter if you have it, just go to the Tools tab, Drive and then erase disk

    arnie you are right....... DVDDecrypter is more than just a ripping tool! It's still the King-Of-The-Hill and does everything!!! I will also use this program! It's so handy, and does the job flawlessly! For me that is! hahahaha

    Glad to know I am not the only big fan of Decrypter. For me, next to Springsteen, it is the best, lol. Just used it last night to rip Sin City in file mode doing the movie only, ripped in 8 minutes what a dream, you just got a love it :)
