    I have some DVD+RW discs that I use to copy old vhs tapes for transfer to my computer, then I author them, so then I reuse the discs multiple times. This always works, except that unfortunately, I used Deepburner's erase function, now one of my discs is unusable. My computer says that the disc if not a format that windows can use. Is there a way to re-format the disc so I can re-use it? Thanks.

    Try doing a full-erase of the disk with decentware such as ImgBurn.

    I had a number of +RW disks that just didn't work any more. When I bought a new burner, a Plextor, I tried these disks again with IMG burn and now they all format just fine. Don't know if it was the new burner or IMG burn.
