it's something to do with the format of the disk... they are two different standards... and for some reason they don't work together... not sure exactly but it would only make sense that you use a dvd- disk with a dvd- drive... and so on....

Using the wrong type of DVD is like trying to use a dvd disc in a cdrw drive - the laser is not capable of writing to that particular disc format.
