Question : Problem: Using a JVC CU-VD10U dvd burner, keep getting formatting failed error message

Using a JVC Everio Sharestation DVD burner to burn DVD's from recordings on our JVC Everio MG 37U camcorder we keep getting errors. It will burn a disc and then have 3 or 4 dvd's that fail. The error message says formatting failed. We have tried Maxell, Sony and Memorex brand DVD's.

Answer : Problem: Using a JVC CU-VD10U dvd burner, keep getting formatting failed error message

In that case, I'd say there's an issue with the burner itself.   You've clearly tried enough different brands of media -- and Taiyo-Yuden is as good as it gets, so it's almost certainly not a media issue.  

I did note that there are a lot of posts r.e. media issues with the Everio Sharestation -- hopefully JVC is aware of this and will issue a firmware update.

... just for grins, have you tried using DVD+R media?
