I have a NEC ND-1300A (2 years old) burner. It’s a dvd+/-rw. When i bought this drive, i assumed there wouldn’t be any more formats and people would generally be satisfied with the + and - dvd writable medias. However I guess I was wrong…or hopefully you guys can tell me I’m not wrong.
Today, I bought a 50-pack of Sony dvd-r’s for $20. Apparently, in tiny print on the label, it stated it’s Version 2.0 for 8x burning. I’m confused. Is this compatible with non version 2.0 burners? Cause when I try to back up my data, I get an improper procedure message with my alchohol 120% which is the following:

Please check the log file and report any errors to Technical Support.
Should I just return these dvd-rs or what? should i get a new version of the software? i can’t believe this sort of change wouldn’t be stated as clear as the DVD-R or DVD+R when almost all drives nowadays are +/- compatible, when there are still many non version 2.0 compatible drives, or so it seems out on the market.
