I use "Toast" to erase my DVD-RW discs.   There is an" erase" command 
included under "Recorder" in the menu at the top of the screen.    You 
need to use the" long" erase option as the "Quick Erase" alternative 
will only allow you to reburn the disc under the Toast Appn.    I have 
not had any experience with erasing under "Disk Utility" and will have 
to leave comment on that to someone else.
