I am using Memorex DVD-R 8x disks.

I use the burn folder function in finder to make a data dvd. It recognizes the blank DVD. It burns the DVD. If I do not eject the DVD, it works. Once the DVD is ejected, then reinserted, the computer thinks I have inserted a blank CDR. What gives? I am using OSX 10.4.3.
 
What are you trying to burn onto that DVD? Data? Movie?

Neither Finder nor Disk Utility will properly burn a video.
