Ok, so I downloaded some Mpegs that I want to burn to a DVD using Sonic DVD.

 

It gives me this error when I try to burn it....

 

Recordable media was not detected in DVD+RW DVD8601

 

Can anyone help???

That refers to the type of disc you're trying to record to.

 

What kind of disc do you have in the drive (DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW, or DVD-RW)?

 

Your drive may not be able to record to that format.

If your drive is called DVD+RW DVD8601 then i'd imagine it'll only take +RW discs.

You may have a + Drive, which will only take +R and +RW media. Try burning with a DVD+R and see if that works. They're equivalent in price to DVD-R discs, so if you bought a spindle of the -R, you should be able to exchange them for the +R.
