Disc Drive spits out dvd+r blank disc on powerbook G4

[almostthere]

Hi,

Everytime I insert a blank DVDR into my disc drive, it just spits it back out. I have tried burning something with it on Roxio Toast, but it just says "waiting for writer" then spits the disc back out. Now, it burns a CDR fine but not the DVDR.

Here is my system profiler:
ATA-3 Bus:

MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-816:

Manufacturer: MATSHITA
Model: MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-816
Revision: DXJ3
Serial Number:
Drive Type: CD-RW/DVD-RW
Disc Burning: Apple Supported/Shipped
Removable Media: Yes
Detachable Drive: No
Protocol: ATAPI
Unit Number: 0
Socket Type: Internal


So, I am pretty sure that I HAVE a dvd burner, but I do not know what the problem is. Sorry, if this a simple question, but I just switched. I searched, and couldn't find the same question. Thanks.

I believe it can only burn DVD-Rs. If you are using DVD+Rs it may not work. Someone may correct me though.

There's your problem right there. It only supports DVD-R/RW discs, not DVD+R/RW discs. Buy DVD-R discs instead of DVD+R discs.
