I am working with an external Plextor 740U/F DVD burner on a Power Macintosh G4 (Gigabit Ethernet)400 MHz that is running OS X v10.3.9 "Panther". I have two versions of Roxio's Toast Titanium v5.2.3 & v7.0.2 installed. The problem that I am having is in both versions. The first time that I use a DVD-RW or DVD+RW that has been newly removed from the shrink wrapping, I am able to successfully get a burn. Whenever the DVD-RW or DVD+RW has been erased & is to be reused, just before another burn is to be performed, I get the message that this disc is full & to try another disc that can be written to. I also have Wintel based computers that from Nero OEM that has come with the DVD recorder, I am successfully able to reuse the DVD-RW or DVD+RW when it has been erased. I am using Maxell DVDs. According to Plextor they were stumped & have escalated the issue to the support engineers for further investigation. In the meantime while combing the Toast Titanium support section of the Roxio website, they suggest to try a different brand of media or else it could be a defective DVD recorder. I did this with no luck. The recorder does not appear to be defective because it works on the other Wintel computers successfully. Please help here.
