Hi, Yes i know this may sound a silly question,but does one have to FORMAT all new DVD Discs(Such as DVD-R,DVD+R DVD+RW ETC) before use,and if so what program do you use. Thanks
No we dont have to format the disc if they are not re-writable and even when they are on first use u do not have to firmat the disc. Any program will work with the discs. But make sure the disc is from a good manifacturer. Use DVD Identifier to actually identify the real manifacturer of the disc. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_tools/dvd_identifier.cfm I hope that helps you out.
good advise..... here is a media guide for you: http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm just keep in mind the better media is [bold]Made-In-Japan[/bold] with the one exception: Verbatim (made in Taiwan/Singapore). Read lable and buy the ones MIJ (Taiyo Yuden, Maxell, Sony).
Hi borhan 9 Thanks for the reply,i just then cant understand why such things as INCD are there,as they ask to format Discs all the time when using a new Disc?? Anyway i will try and use Unformatted Disc to see what happens. Also that site you gave me for DVD Identifier,well i downloaded it but it says that its corrupt. Have tried twice now and still get same thing,so i have deleted it.???????????? Thanks anyway i will look at something else. Tony
Ok thats your problem remoce InCD it conflicts with other DVD programs. All that does is format re-writable DVD's thats all. I personally got rid of it first thing and only left AnyDVD there. If DVD Identifier says the disc is curropted there is something majorly wrong with the media then.
