Fujifilm dvd-r and atapi 2x16x4x16 burner.. help

Ok Im not a super newbie..Like i know how to back up my dvd collection and all that..but I got this 100 pack of dvd-r's they are Fujifilm 8x's ... The only thing I can find on my burner is the atapi 2x16x4x16 because it was a present last year and dont know the brand .. Is there a way I can see? also there was a site before i could look up which dvd media would work ith what....any one know what site it is..and tell me which my media is like TY000 somthing or to the effect of that..

plz help I want to be able to use these dvd-r's as they are a present..except it just doesnt read them being in the drive.

Get VSO Inspector. It'll get the media manufacturer and info on your dvd burner.

DVD Identifier will also get media details.

Check out the following site too for info on your drive and how it handles certain media.

The only problem with that would be that I cannot see the media thru those programs...for the fact my dvd burner isnt reading the disc...its just saying no media present...

I mean even if its the crapiest media in the world shouldnt it still read the disc?!

this has been bothering me, any help?

I had a DVD burrner go bad on me. it stoped reading and burrning DVD's but it would read CD and burn CD-R.

So check and see if this happens with another brand of DVD's other then the ones your using.

Also make sure your drive can read the type of disc that you have. If your have a DVD+R burner it will not read DVD-R. same as the other way around.

 

Ok i'll have to wait a few days so I can buy some new media to try...but im pretty sure it works...as I just used it.

And it does support what im burning(dvd-r's).

But most of all...awsome sig pic... GO WINGS :-D

Ok well other media works in it..just not this media... Would that have to do with any firmware or settings..I remember somthing about DMI or some mode I had to reset once to get other media to work... because it wouldnt even read it in my drive what so ever..just like its doing now..any ideas?
