Do not use a CD-R/RW disc that has an adhesive label affixed to it. This could cause a write error or other damage.
What should I do if I cannot write data to DVD media?

Check which DVD recordable format is compatible with your computer's built-in DVD recorder. Note the possibility that
some brands of DVD recordable media do not work.
