imac DVD player not recognising blank disks
I have just tried to burn some data to a blank DVD the system told me that it did not recognise the disk how ever toast did. I've tried several disks that I have brought at different times with the same message from the system. Anyone else having this problem?

Have you tried a restart?

Mine did that not too long ago, it said every disc was no good and to try something else,

i did a restart and it was all ok again.

It doesn't seem to have fixed the problem. I have just got the same message
