Toshiba DVD/R/RW SD-R112
I bought this DVD burner about a year ago - snagged it at a great price ($30 bones) and it’s worked flawlessly until yesterday when I got around to actually burning a DVD. CD’s burn fine, and I recently installed Daemon tools only to discover in a search later that Daemon sometimes causes issues with burners.
Does anyone have this burner and have issues with the drive not recognizing blank media? (ie. a blank dvd)?
**EDIT**
Bah after a few hours of searching with Blingo I came up with nill (they are powered by Google mind you). One search with core Google answered my question in 3 minutes.
The Toshiba SD-R5112 does not support DVD+ media. You have to use DVD- media with it.
My media is +R so that was a waste of $9 bones on blank discs. Ironically I threw my box and manual out a couple of weeks ago and just now looked up the online specs for the linkage in this post.
Something else I’m curious about is the specs state it only reads -R. I need to know the difference between the two and hope they dont universalize anything you buy on DVD to +R like games, movies, etc…
