DVD Burner Problem with Recognizing Blank Media Dr. Buford 06-30-2005

I'm having a lot of problems burning DVDs and am now on my second drive so I
doubt that it is a drive problem. Whenever I try insert a blank DVD (tried
both +/-R), Windows Explorer changes the drive type to CD-ROM instead of
DVD-RW.

I'm using Nero to burn the DVDs and it recognizes the disk as a DVD-R or
DVD+R, but when I then try to burn, it fails and basically gives me a core
dump of Nero.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Found the problem... I was using Memorex media. I found a lot of
information online about the poor quality of this media for burning videos
and sure enough, I used another brand of disk and it works fine.
