Hi

I have recently purchased a used G5 1.8ghz mac with a pioneer DVD-RW drive.
I've written several DVD+R discs with data and the mac reads the data just fine. When I try and burrn some data using a DVD-R it writes the disc but then spits the disc out when I try to read it. My guess could is it could be the make of the discs?... The DVD+R's are TDK (working fine) the DVD-R's are Tescos own brand (mac spits these out when trying to read data). Anyone clarify this?

All I can suggest is try another brand. I tend to use TDK. Verbatim, and Imation.
