DVD Players, recorders, and disks have several different attributes that can make them incompatible. If you look you will find some disks that say DVD+RW, some DVD-RW, some DVD+RW. You will also find that players make some of the same distinctions.
Also, You may need to see if your player can actually play DVD=RW disks. You may need to try recording to a DVD+R disk.
For more information on this you can look up DVD+RW on wikipedia.org.
Hope this helps.
Most home DVD Drives do not support the DVD+RW format. Try burning to a regular DVD-R disk and that should work.
Good Luck,

Actually fyi...my DVD/VHS MAGNAVOX RECORDER states must be "PLUS+" version such as "DVD+R" So the "MINUS-" like "DVD-R" do not work at all as I even learned when I bought the MINUS version 100 packs on Ebay years ago & even now, the minus are cheaper but dont work on these. I now use them for my computer uses and I state this mow 10 years later cuz I'm doing a Google search on why I now get ERRORS on not "NOT RECORDABLE DISK" even tho it's the same stack I use all the time. I've noticed that certain movies now on cable just dont record? Like AWAKE type movies for I'm trying again to record AWAKE MOVIE "2012", and so far all the times it never recorded...til today but now it popped up halfway so I started new dvd for rest of movie to happen few times. It's like they have set movies to have something to not allow to record? Usually at beginning of movie but I have tried again bit later & it works? I have 3 dvd right now on this 3hour & 33 minutes 2012 movie and this 3rd DVD I just hit record after the error popped up again..and it started working recording again? I tried to record the Johnny Cash movie and no luck, not even from VCR taping I resorted to and then dubbing the VCR version to dvd and no luck? This has gotten worse w newer movies but years ago I could almost record any movie from cable. It's clearly cable setting this so we cant record movies do we buy cable & movie channels.
Hope this helps others still trying to record in 2022 and on. Good luck & if anyone knows a better work around to bypass to record movies, please respond to this. thx!!
