    Okay, Philips makes good Tv sets and DVD players, but their blank media leaves something to ne desired ...

    If you feel the need to use DVD+RW discs, get Verbatim

    As far as +R discs, get Verbatim, Sony, Maxell or Jaoanese made Fuji

    You really can't go wrong with any format of Verbatim disc ...

    Do you or can you get Nero software? It makes it easy to format a RW disk.

    DVD Decrypter does a good job of formatting RW discs, also ... and it's free, free, free
