Format dvd-rw

[keyser soze]

I have a dvd-rw disc that I've been using to try out my dvd's b4 burning them to disc, is there any reason why I should'nt be doing this? also even though the disc plays in my dvd player when inserted into my pc it shows no disc and when I check the properties it says file system RAW and the dvd-rw as a CD.

Any1 any ideas?

Do you have any software installed on your PC for playing DVDs?

I use canopus which usually plays the dvd in w m/player 9 if I ever try the produced mpeg.

Forget Windows Mediaplayer. It is trash. Unless you are creating files specifficly for it and absolutely have to have it, do yourself a favor and just uninstall it from your system.

For real.

I got nero vision express as part of nero burning rom but uninstalled it because I did'nt really like how it took over my icons and stuff, is it worth putting back on I think theres a dvd player on there.
