Some machines will make an attempt to write to incompatible media.

You should check to see if they will.

It's far cheaper to use RWs if you do a lot of weekly recording. I got
30 Verbatim brand DVD +RWs for under $30 at Sam's Club. I did a full
erase with Nero on my computer and formatted them with the DVDR. I use
one disc per day so it pays me to use RW. Plus I do not have to fool
with finalizing +RW discs. They play just fine in my Apex player and
on my computer.
