If the disc is poor in quality, or is dirty or damaged, writing or rewriting
errors may be noted - ensure that you check all discs for dirt or damage
before you use them.

The actual number of rewrites to CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW or DVD-
RAM media will be affected by the quality of the disc itself and the way
in which it is used.
