Okay. So I just done burning my files to DVD-RW. A rewritable disc I think, but when I opened the disc, I stupidly put different files into my disc. BTW, I'm using this to burn isos. Anyway, I followed some tutorials so I used Disk Utility again to completely erase my data from the disc so that I can burn some files again. But after burning, the disc didn't burn at all, I get an error "Unable to burn "(my file)". (The disc drive didn't respond properly and can't recover or retry.)" So I went to a lot of forums and finally giving up and posting a new thread. I hope I'm not on the wrong forums though. Also, I checked my disc and the content size seems to be only 1.3 mb while the media capacity is 4.71gb. I dunno what happened. Can anyone tell me what to do? And again, the disc is a rewritable.

Don't want to discourage you about using DVD RW media, however, I personally gave up on them long ago. As a matter of fact, I threw what I had away. I found them to be unreliable. As inexpensive as DVDR media is, the RW types just aren't worth the effort and aggravation.
