515328 2007-01-13 00:05:00 Im wondering if anybody has experienced issues with RW dvds after 4 or 5 erases.
When formatting in Nero (on two different PCs even), it spits out the dvd with either 2 minutes left or 40~ seconds in quick erase.
I think it's nero enterprise 6

515329 2007-01-13 00:07:00 Thats why its called quick erase. Do a full format, you'll notice the diff lol.

And then you'll be happy you selected quick format.

Altho its not a good idea to do a full format with DVD-RW's all the time, unless you've got a lot of time, or you're bored.

Burning DVD+R is fine and dandy though

515331 2007-01-13 00:21:00 Well normally u don't format blnk dvd's, if u burn to them, this maybe diff for dvdrw's tho. Since I haven't got any to see what happens. Speedy Gonzales (78)
515332 2007-01-13 08:35:00 I use Verbatim DVD+RW all the time and do a quick erase without any problems. The only one I had a problem with was a Laser branded sample I got. paulw (1826)
