RetroSaves Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Hello we are using Retrospect 5 to backup our Mac running OS 10.3. The mac is a G4 Dual from summer 2002 with a the Pioneer 104 superdrive, driver "227" . backup media is DVD-RW. After having filled up about 10 DVD's we want to reuse the media and the backup set. Unfortunately Retro has problems erasing/rewriting the media. So do other DVD writing apps, so the problem is probably not only due to Retro. Has someone here experience with DVD-RW's? The brand we use is mostly Intenso or SK (cheap). Do we have to update the DVD driver (Apples utility says ist not needed)? ARe the cheap DVD's the problem? Should we try to erase the DVD with toast or Unix tools? Any help appreciated regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn.grinter Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 I did read somewhere on an Apple forum that with DVD-RWs you need to use ones rated at 2X and no higher, and that there was a difference between DVD-RWs meant for "General Use" and those for "Authoring". The Superdrive supports "General Use". Not sure if this is a Red Herring or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
