How do I format a dvdrw to play in a dvd recorder
Sorry if this is the wrong NG to post this.
I have searched google for this, but I'm no where near finding out how to format a dvdrw disc so as it plays in my dvd recorder. The recorder doesn't have the facility to format discs, so I thought nero would be able to do so, no it can't, only erase, but disc is still not recognised. Any ideas please? Thanks |

Thanks are you sure your recorder doesn't have a format facility? It might help if you told us the model etc, plus I can point you to some other groups which deal with DVD, though you might get the answer here. alt.video.dvdr alt.video.dvd.tech rec.video.dvd.tech -- Paul (We won't die of devotion) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |

How do I format a dvdrw to play in a dvd recorder
The recorder is a Panasonic DMREZ28MR, and I can't see a format facility.

The recorder is a Panasonic DMREZ28MR, and I can't see a format facility. Thanks Hi Bob, I did a little search and the instructions for formatting are on page 48 of your manual, or thereabouts. I've copied and pasted them but obviously things like arrows don't copy properly to text. If you don't have the manual check out the downloads on panasonic's website and you will find a manual for your machine Formatting is the process of making media such as DVDRAM recordable on recording equipment. You can record or edit after formatting the finalised DVD-RW. Important: Once formatted, contents cannot be recovered. Perform preparation steps – of “Accessing the Management Menus” (. left). Press [e, r] to select “Format Disc”, then press [OK]. Press [w] to select “Yes”, then press [OK]. Press [w] to select “Start”, then press [OK]. Formatting starts (RAM may take up to a maximum of 70 minutes). A message appears when formatting is finished. Press [OK] to complete. -- Paul (We won't die of devotion) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |

I have found with DVD+R that if they have been formatted on a PC the Pany will not format them., not even give you the option and will say that the disk is not usable or the like.. but if they are new then it will format them OK.. |
