DVD RAM DIscs wear out?

[inicholson]

I bought a DVD recorder and have been very happy with it until recently. With certain discs it is difficult to watch the beginning of a programme whilst it continues to record it.

This has always worked very well until recently. It only seems to happen with certain discs. I bought a pack of 10 DVD RAM discs when I bought the recorder a year or so ago, which I have recorded on and erased since. I was wondering whether the discs do eventually actually wear out? DO I basically just need to get some new discs?

Thanks

have you tried using a cd/dvd lens cleaning disk.if you put it in periodically this can help.they tellme the non liquid ones are best.also are the disks clean?dvds are really fussy,unlike cds.

hope this helps
