Answer» I cannot erase my Disc which is a DVD R/w disc . I get into the writer Wizard and it tells me that It cannot finish erasing the disc and has stopped the process,and asks me to try again in order to ensure the discis READY to use, it is a DVD R/W disc of 4.7 GB, and I am running on win XP.Can anyone help please.Try it with a 3rd party app... CDBurnerXPro is a good ONE and it's Free.Possibly the disk is damaged and cannot be used. -RW disks are more easily damaged than other recordable disks such as +R and -R I have tried SEVERAL new DVD R/W discs ,and still have the same problem. Quote from: patio on October 07, 2010, 05:58:17 AM CDBurnerXPro is a good one and it's Free. Have you tried this?Have tried the pro BURNER and I still cannot erase my DVD R/WNow he says it happens with several disks. I do not believe it is software. The dvd-burner drive could be faulty, or if you bought a multi pack of RW disks, try a different brand. What I meant when I said Ihave tried several other DVD/RWs, is that I bought a ten pack an have tried most of the OTHERS from that pack,still to no avail.

That could be: 1. bad batch 2. brand not compatible. 3. bad or failing drive. Possibly you need to return the 10-pack for a refund. Is it a reputable brand from a reliable source? I mean if you bought the pack from a street trader they could be fake or substandard. Have you ever had success with any other brand -RW disks in that drive? But why do you need to "erase" a new -RW disk? I bought the ten pack from ASDA , and downloaded a film onto one of the new discs , then I wanted to erase the film , becase when I tried it on my tv it came up as WRONG disc and would not play at all, Yet it plays on my computer no problemsNot everybody here will know what ASDA means, this is a world wide forum, but as it goes I get my sherry from there (I'm in the UK too. I get my disks from Maplin) and I never have any problems with that. How are you trying to erase the disc? Quote I tried it on my tv Your TV plays disks? It has a built in DVD player? If that is what you mean, (they sell them in Comet) then it may be a basic player that only takes standard DVD video disks that are pressed or on +R or -R. And not avi format. By the way, we don't help with pirated stuff so if the film is an avi dvd-rip of a copyrighted title that you got off a torrent or something like that, then you made a mistake telling us about it.

Your TV plays disks? It has a built in DVD player? If that is what you mean, (they sell them in Comet) then it may be a basic player that only takes standard DVD video disks that are pressed or on +R or -R. And not avi format.
