I have searched google for this, but I'm no where near finding out how
to format a dvdrw disc so as it plays in my dvd recorder.
The recorder doesn't have the facility to format discs, so I thought
nero would be able to do so, no it can't, only erase, but disc is still
not recognised.

are you sure your recorder doesn't have a format facility? It might
help if you told us the model etc, plus I can point you to some other
groups which deal with DVD, though you might get the answer here.
Re: How do I format a dvdrw to play in a dvd recorder
The recorder is a Panasonic DMREZ28MR, and I can't see a format facility.
Thanks

Hi Bob, I did a little search and the instructions for formatting are
on page 48 of your manual, or thereabouts. I've copied and pasted them
but obviously things like arrows don't copy properly to text. If you
don't have the manual check out the downloads on panasonic's website
and you will find a manual for your machine
Formatting is the process of making media such as DVDRAM
recordable on recording equipment.
You can record or edit after formatting the finalised DVD-RW.
Important: Once formatted, contents cannot be recovered.
Perform preparation steps – of “Accessing the
Management Menus” (. left).
Press [e, r] to select “Format Disc”, then press [OK].
Press [w] to select “Yes”, then press [OK].
Press [w] to select “Start”, then press [OK].
Formatting starts (RAM may take up
to a maximum of 70 minutes).
A message appears when formatting is finished.
Press [OK] to complete.

I have a Panasonic DMR-EH57 DVD recorder. I have found with DVD+R
that if they have been formatted on a PC the Pany will not format
them., not even give you the option and will say that the disk is not
usable or the like.. but if they are new then it will format them
OK..

good point. I don't use the + discs myself so wouldn't have had the
problem. but i think it did happen with an RW I used.
