You must format a new disc before recording on it.
When loading a DVD-RW disc you must format it in Video or VR mode.

We cannot guarantee that you will be able to play back in all other manufacturer’s DVD Camcorders, DVD Players/
Recorders, or PC’s. For compatibility information, please refer to the manual of the device you wish to play back on.
Discs must be finalised before they can be played on standard DVD Players/Recorders.
