I've got a DVD-RAM drive in my notebook. I bought blank DVD's, but I can't burn to them. I get a message saying that it's not writable media. I thought a DVD-RAM would write to DVD too? What gives?


There is a review of a DVD_RAM capable drive here. Notice the
special media they use for the DVD_RAM test.

First page of review:

Output of "Nero Infotool" for that drive:

The software they use to test all the modes of the drive are
at the bottom of this page. "Burning ROM" is probably doing
most of it. Kprobe is used for scanning, to determine the
quality of the burn. (I thought Kprobe only worked on
Liteon drives, but what do I know...)
