Hi, Hi ,even though you have not stated make and model of your DVD Recorder ,You need to check the specs on your DVD drive and check if your drive writes to -R or +R discs. Many drives will write to both but not all.Reading is a different feature ,most reads all..If you try to use wrong blank DVD disc it is normal to receive this message.. Additionally you did not mention if your problem was related to RECORDING DVD or PLAYING DVD session.Therefore I hereby provided solution mostly related for the second option but helps for RECORDING as well..
Unfortunately , Some DVD players ,especially brand ones cant read some DVD s and then it gives either "loading" or " no disc"..or "unknown disk" reading on the display... it generally happens when you want to play "A copied DVD/CD " taken from somewhere else or recorded on DVD but" NOT FINALIZED" disc.. Just to make sure that such DVD disc is ok ,you can try to run them on your laptop.If the disc itself has problem, laptop does not read either.. Since you have not stated,if it is an old Recorder /player or not, pls Clean your DVD player's LASER lens .. A clean DVD player Lens ensures that your DVD disc would be read and Write properly. Unfortunately, your DVD player's Lens accumulate as much dust and lint as the other parts of the DVD player. There are many available DVD lens cleaner kits that you can purchase and use to clean your DVD player. YOUR DVD disc itself should be clean and finger prints free as well....
Here is a suggested DVD Lens Cleaner that should do the job of cleaning your DVD Player's lens.

Hi again..well if this is the case your DVD player is giving you poor tracking, your laser eye could be losing strength and need adjustment. If you've tried other alternatives and believe you have nothing to lose in adjusting your laser, If you will be able to do this adjustment I can provide the details but you need to Borrow or purchase an oscilloscope. Though having this equipment is not necessary, if you are not able to track the visual output, there is the chance of turning it up too high without realizing it and destroying your laser. Pls let me know if you need the instruction...Take care..Hi again..well if this is the case your DVD player is giving you poor tracking, your laser eye could be losing strength and need adjustment.
