Cannot delete/format DVD-RW with burned DVD movie

[vocalmind]

No matter how I tried I cannot delete/format my DVD-RW which was burned with DVD movie.

Is this a media issue? Or any workaround?

Are you doing a quick erase or a full erase. Also what program are you using to erase with?

The best suggestion you can get (I had that problem in the past) Use dvdinfopro.... You will format it with that program ( the download is free) and afterwards you'll format it with Nero or another dvd burning program. Then it should be erased... By the way...Nine times out of ten there's a hidden file on it that tells the burner not to erase it...I forgot the name of the file but it's a protection put there by mistake..like when you break the tabs off on the back of a video cassette. Anyway remember to format twice...one with dvdinfopro and again with your dvd burning program. Here's the link: http://www.dvdinfopro.com

Im using NERO and DVD infopro as recommended by macrovision. But still cannot erase it.

Actually it can prompt that the erase is succesful but when I check again the file still there.

I hope you understand that when using the two programs mentioned that you need to do a full format. Not erase,quick erase, or quick format. If your still not successful then you need to format it with the program in which it was recorded with. LOL!
