Carl,
Frustration is only the tip of the berg that sank the Titanic.
Yeah, why does one work here but will not work there?
Check your settings on your burner. Who knows, you just might have it set to burn just one type of media (either a + or a -.)
I don't remember what it was I did, but I was having what seems to be the same problem early on in my DVD burning adventure. Usually able to go to Tools>Options in the software of the burner and look it over.
Might want to check if the drivers are fully updated. How old is the burner? Might be time to invest in a new one. If you are working off of a laptop, then get a USB or FireWire external burner that states in plain English that the burner will burn in every format.
And, try different types of manufacturers media. Right now, not only because it works, I have to use HP's Lightscribe media. One; because HP put the burner in my HP laptop. Two; I love the Lightscribe stuff. Flip it over and burn the name of the newly made DVD. My writing is atrocious and I cannot read what I wrote, so yeah, Lightscribe is great!
What it comes down to, as has been my case in these past twenty-plus years of messing around with computers, is to try and keep trying to beat these silly machines at their own game. Eventually, you will win.
But, it is aggravating in the mean time.
Keep posting and let us know what is going on. Someone sooner or later will come up with what you need.
