Usually this message appears with CDs (not DVDs) when you
try burning audio CDs with an incompatible writer.

If you're sure that you're working with the correct
kind of media try:

* Making sure that the disc isn't already used
* Changing brands
* Lowering the write speed
* Making sure the right side is down
* Reducing the amount of data you're trying to stick onto
   that disc.
