I'm trying to use my new DVD burner [Mad Dog] to burn a "data disk". I put DVD-R blank disk in and got an "incompatible recording media" message. I tried a DVD+R and got the same message. Do I need a special data disk or something?

Flatliner said:That's interesting.... I would do a search on their websit for your product number and see if there is more info. You are positive it is a DVD burner? Have you evere burned on it before?

Mad Dog internal DVD burner purchased about 3 weeks ago. MD-16X3DVD9-8X. Roxio Easy Media Creator DVD software. I'm trying to copy my Ford service DVD. It has 7GB of data on it. I managed to get the copy process to start by opening the DVD and copying each folder individually but I keep getting an error message that says "cyclical redundancy error" when I try to copy the "Content" folder. I tried both Maxel DVD-R and Phillips and Maxell DVD+R blank DVDs with similar results.
I have used the burner to copy some DVDs before this so I know it works. I'm thinking software problem in the Ford DVD.
wizdawg said:Your common DVD-R or DVD-R can not hold over 4.7GB. You need a dual layer disk and and dual layer burner. I believe your burner is a capable of doing dual layer, but is your media dual layer?
wizdawg said:I have never used any dual layer disks. As far as single layer goes, I have been though hundreds of generic disks with no problems. I don't know what they are charging at Best buy for these. Back when they 1st came out it was around $10 a disk. You can buy a generic 25 pack online for under $2 a DVD. Check out meritline.com.
Also, if you are trying to make an exact copy I would suggest creating and burning 1 *.iso file and not coping individual folders at a time.
