DVD+R media

[fraidso]

Can anyone tell me why my MDD dual G4 with superdrive will not read DVD+R blank discs. I don't have any problems with DVD-R media but after a while it just ejects DVD+R discs? Any ideas much appreciated!!

Are you sure your drive supports +R discs? Assuming you are running OS X you can fire up system profiler and under the disc burning category you can see the types of discs your drive can write.

I don't seem to have that category!!! Here is a screen shot:

Any ideas?

Look under "ATA."
