try formatting the discs in your computer first and then try formatting the discs in your recorder.
see if that works. or try unplugging your dvd recorder & waiting for a few minutes and then try formatting the disc in the recorder.

I tried formatting it in my computer and in my recorder that format the DVD automatic when I put it in the recorder and is still in the loop. I will try putting archives from the PC to the DVD to see if is good and I will try to put them in the DVD and unplug the recorder while is doing the format.

I tried formatting the disk in the DVD recorder, it was in the loop obviusly, then I unplug the DVD recorder from the wall and plug them again and now it says is a unknown disk even if is a -RW and my recorder support -RW...

Edit: The thing of "unknown disk" happen when I used the DVD in the computer, another DVD that I never touched and I didn´t used it in a computer before it stay in the "format disk" loop even if I unplug from the wall the recorder or not.

All of this happening with Philips DVD-RW. I have some old Verbatim DVD-R and it works perfectly fine without any problem...

be sure the recording mode will FIT on the disk. Also be sure the BRAND is supported by the original spec.

Sounds like your philips disc are hooped and your recorder just can't format it and keeps trying.
