Downloading photos onto a DVD+RW disc

[VHT]

I have a PCG-GRT916V and I'm trying to burn photographs onto a DVD-RW disc using DVD R/RW, but it gives me a non writeable error. Am I trying the impossible? Any help would be welcome.

Does your drive support the "-" standard?

[VHT]

How do I establish whether it does support that format?

That model has a dual format drive.

Any other suggestions? Using TDK DVD+RW 4.7GB discs. Specific software to use? Anything - am at a loss here.

I use Ahead Nero, install the packet writing software InCD as well as Nero if you want to treat the drive like a floppy for on-the-fly burning and erasing.

http://www.ahead.de - there is a free trial available. HTH

I have just bought a GRT 816s and I too am having problems burning to dvd.I am using Packard Bell DVD+RW. Don't know if this makes a difference. The drive is a Pioneeer multi format but I get error "check if disc is in tray properly". It is in the tray and can be read through my computer. Help????

I have heard of problems with PB media in the past - I have the same (Pioneer) drive and use TDK + & - and R & RW with no problems.

I only use TDK and Memorex.
