I've checked several places on this forum and can't find what I'm looking for so please accept my apology up front if I missed it:
I'm recording on a DVD-R using DVD+RW and I've reused the disks quite extensively since Christmas. The disks are starting to skip and/or pause. I was told I needed to reformat them but saw something here that says you can't do that - only erase. My DVD-R is erasing them, they're showing 100% free.
Does anyone know why the disks aren't recording cleanly anymore?...and what I can or need to do to clean them up? I was told disks should last for 10 years with no degradation, is that true?
I average about 3 disks a week and I have 6 disks so I"m reusing them every 2 weeks and I keep both the disks and the recorder clean.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
