BIM,

It should be Purple (The darker the better), Blue or Green are DATA Disc's, not disc's for recording movies on to. They cannot be Finalized, hense you can write over and over again. You must have erased by mistake, (easy to do with these). Some Programs will Format or Erase a Disc before you get to do anything. Sorry you lost the film. What was the film?. I put In my first edition copy of West Side Story. And It won't play, just say's Video Not Supported, and that is on all my machines. Just one of those things. They were not made to last forever (like we all got told when they launched them). Also I feel sorry for all the ones who sold or Tipped all their vinyl In the bin. To go over fully to CD. H.
