I bought a Philips DVD Recorder DVD+R about 2 years ago and at the time all the discs I bought (R and RW) apart from duff discs recorded fine.
The last two batches of discs that I have bought now are not recognised and have been told that disc technology has progressed.
Unfortunately that for me seems to mean that my DVD Recorder is old technology. Does anyone have any ideas as to discs that work in older DVD recorders?

Unless you are buying dual layer discs which probably wouln't work anyway?
Read something somewhere about a firmware fix. Relevant?
Check the Philips website, if there's one available, install it.
I wouldn't be too sure. A lot of Philips' DVD recorders start playing up with different kinds of discs. Have a read of this thread and be grateful yours will still recognise DVD-RWs!

For example we bought some verity systems dvd multi copiers (approx 5 years ago) which had 4x speed drives in and we started getting copy errors when we bought a new batch of media. we researched on the www and introduces a firmware upgrade to x8 and the problem pretty much went away, then they introduced 16 x disks and the prob came back but worse.
in my experience however you have a much greater chance of reliable copying if you were to select disks that say "up to x16 copy" rather than "x16" for example !
In our case TDK 1-16x disks worked for us.

p.s. sometimes it just becomes too much of a fight keeping things going and you have to just let it go and get something more up to date.
