Wow, that second scan was fast! Loaded #8, which is a 'good' one, i,e.
one I have not yet tried to Erase (or burn data) with Nero Express.
After making myself a coffee, this message awaited:

---------
[DVD-RW:RITEK000V11A]
No physical errors encountered. Your disc is still in good shape.

OK, while I'm on a roll, let's try #10. That's one of the two which
will play on my lounge DVD player but not on my PC with PowerDVD
(which says 'No disc in drive V:') or Nero ShowTime - but does play in
BS Player. Seems bizarre to me, but no doubt light will dawn soon!

OK, IsoBuster says it's a 'Blank DVD-RW'. And, logically enough I
suppose, the Surface Scan option is not accessible.

Just to be sure, closed IsoBuster, loaded BS Player, and played it. 43
secs of video and audio. BS window says:
LEDSequencer6MB.mpg
00:00:00 / 00:00:43 Movie size: 320x240 @ 25

So how can it be an empty disc?!

More important, should I now be able to do any of the above operations
with it? If for example I Erase it in Nero Express, that should cause
no problem?
