[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1135899, member: 46727"] You will most likely get no help from Apple since that's a Samsung external drive. The fault is probably with the Samsung drive and not the brand of media. I quit using DVD+RW media long ago because of their unreliability. I have had nothing but difficulty using them both in Windows and OS X and it didn't matter which program I used. As inexpensive as as DVDR media is, I see no reason to take a chance with using +RW media. You can generally buy a 50 disk or 100 disk spool of DVDR media on sale most anywhere. Also - have you considered using Time Machine and an external hard drive for your backups? It's much easier to use and so much more reliable than DVDs. [/QUOTE]
