| 236767 | 2004-05-15 04:30:00 | Oh dear . :_| Unfortunately, we can't blame Windows for this one . ;-) You have hit the DVD non-standard . Manufactures are not driven by the welfare of their customers; they are in it for the money . Compatibility? Standards? Your NEC drive is a DVD+RW . Your Toshiba is a DVD-RW . See the difference? About the first link you get from "ND1100a dvd" in Google will explain . . . |

| 236770 | 2004-05-15 07:32:00 | Good spot Graham. :-) Pebesoft, you may want to have a quick look at the manufacturers site for a firmware update. Sometimes manuf. add extra functionality such as the ability to read other types of discs. If you do find one then be careful the update is for your specific model and follow instructions carefully. You can of course just use the right discs. ;-) Unfortunately DVD-R and DVD+R media suffers the same brand issues as CD-R/RW media where one brand will work and another wont. Same deal with DVD-ROM & stand alone DVD players. To save making coasters have a look at readers comments on whether particular brands worked for them on www.videohelp.com hth |
