Help Please

I currently have a Toshiba RD-85DTSB HDD/DVD Recorder.

I've been trying to create a DVD-video by transferring material recorded on  the hard drive.(Stuff for study)

I bought the DVD/RW discs as recommended but when I load a disc to dub to and then select the 'Dubbing HDD-DVD' option, it says either that

a) there isn't a disc in

 or after five mins loading it says  b) the disc is empty. 

 The whole thing stops and I can get no further.  Do you have to format the DVD's in some way before use? How do you do that?

The second problem I have is that one particular DVD that I bought pre-recorded - wont play. It just keep on going through the loading cycle.  I even bought another copy in case the first was faulty but this did the same.  Both DVD's play on other people's DVD players but not mine.  Other DVD's I have bought pre-recorded play without a problem.

Can anyone help please - and as I'm a simple soul - in very basic terms please.

Thank you in advance.    Frustrated Quillpenuser.
