Buying DVDs
Hello Everyone,
I am new to this forum and I am very glad such forums exit for people like moi My question relates to buying blank DVDs. In the past, I was able to buy blank 8X DVDs for my Toshiba laptop's DVD burner. Information about my laptop can be found on this website: http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product.gr...t=3951#spectop However, time has changed and in the past few months the blank DVDs I had been buying does not work on my laptop. I read my laptop DVD burner can take the 8X DVD speed but now we have the 16X! So, I figure my laptop can take the 16X blank DVDs and nope, I was wrong. Help? I would like to know if these blank DVDs will burn using my laptop DVD burner: 1. http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro...0051278&catid= <- This one states it can support 1X to 16X recording speed, while 2. http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro...0088881&catid= <- states it can support 8X (right for my laptop DVD burner). So, does this means I just have to look into the description of the blank DVDs saying "support 1X to 16X" and/or "support between 1X to 16X"? Thank you

I don't totally understand the last part of your post, but regardless... Basically any DVD +/- R should work on your drive. Now sometimes drives aren't compatible with certain disks. At times firmware is released to correct this, or sometimes you're just out of luck. My guess is you just happened to find a set of disks that didn't work with your machine.
