Hello there:
This is the thing that most people think.
and that is just because they have a dvd-rw type device that it will automatically burn a cd which unfortunatlly is not true.
UNLESS you have a cd dvd burning software such as roxio or some other burning studio installed on the computer
There is also a codec that is used for this so you may want to be sure that you have these things present ok and make sure that they are working the hope that this is verry helpful for you to troubleshooting the system
best regards michael

So the driver is either 'malfunctioning' or it's broken...do you know what revision firmware the drive is using? Your disk authoring software may tell you this. The latest version is 1.22 which you can get by Googling PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-112D firmware. Or go to the Pioneer website. I do not know how to upgrade the firmware for the recorder in MAC Land, in PC Land the firmware update is a simple executable file.

If you are running this version you can try to reflash it. Have you tried another brand of DVD disc? Some discs are less compatible than others. Try another brand of DVD

My dvd burneer wont reconise dvd discs
This is correct, as there is no TOC on a blank disk there is nothing to read. it is your writing software that identifies blank media when inserted, so you may wish to check your software is appropriate for your requirements Cheers :D
