Default Formatting a DVD+RW

I'm trying to burn some camcorder footage onto DVD but it doesn't seem to be working. I've previously done it on Maxell DVD+RW with no problem at all
but these one's are Imation.
I'm now wondering if I need to format these one's though I didn't with the above. The only trouble is I can't work out how to format them..... Help !!!

first thing, stick this in computer secgtion to get a better response...


your DVD recorder/rewriter has to be able to recognise this format.

what happens if you put in the blank dvd as it is without any programmes running, does windows recognise it??

You're gonna have to bear with me on this as I'm not overly techy when it comes to this kinda thing...

when I put the blank disc in the re-writer nothing seems to happen!!

Need a piece of software called Nero burning ROM. You should be able to get a trial version from Here. Download and install it. Then run the program and use the format new re-writable disc option.
