    unable to write ISO to DVD+R

    Hi all

    I am running Ubuntu 9.04, and am not able to write anything to any DVD+R's. I am trying to write some ISO's that I made with DeVeDe, and am unable to do so.

    I have tried Brasero, K3B and Xfburn.

    I have tried 3 different brands of DVD's and none of them work. I get an error saying to insert a disc, or that the disc I am trying to use is full.

    DVD-R's work fine.

    Any thoughts or suggestions?

    ISOs and DVD-RWs are a bad mix, as they are supposed to finalise he disk, which would mean blocking off rewritable space

    EDIT:sorry, misread. can't help you. can you burn other things such as files, not ISOs?

    Try a different brand of DVD+R discs. I have never had a problem burning DVD+R disks with either Brasero or K3B.

    your computer may not be able to burn that kind of cd. I know mine can't do +Rs. Have to use -Rs

    Thanks to all the replies. I used to be able to do them in Wind'ohs.. so I don't think it's a hardware issue.

    I can burn +R's if it's not an ISO.. raw data such as JPG, MP#, AVI.. ect.. are all fine.
