I'm really pissed now:
Yesterday I received a brand new Verbatim 6x DVD-RW. I put it in the drive and burnt a movie on it. (with 2x speed) After it was done, I re-inserted the disc to check if everything went right.
The System got stuck for like 3-4mins, then it said "can't read dvd, might be damaged or not windows compatible bla bla". When I try to format it, Nero says "This is not a rewritable medium, please insert... bla bla".
I waited 1 damn week (believe it or not, where I live, you can't get -RW's within a 10 mile radius) for the package to arrive and now its fucked. 1000 times burnable my ass. So that's it? Is it dead now?

Put it back into the drive and make sure autoplay is switched off. Try formatting again. If that fails try formatting in someone else's drive. I've never ever heard of a dvd rw being killed by writing onto it.

sedolf, i think you've got a compatibility issue with the optical drive (what brand/model).Trust
me there is nothing wrong with the verbatim. Do some investigation regarding your optical
drive and most likely you'll find the problem. Consider re-flashing current firmware onto the
burner. A little while back, I was trying to burn double-layer media with my old nec burner
and would produce a lot of coasters (expensive nonetheless) I went out and bought a new
Plextor and had never again had a problem.
