They are recommended HIGHLY for all test and burn operations before a final setup for distribution. You can use them many times over. BUT use true write-once disc media ONLY for distribution and storage.

The limitations you have on optical disc creation, 1) the burner driver in the OS, 2) the firmware of the burner 3) the optical disc media itself - not the read/write cycle.

Thanks for the confirmation. I was remembering that for CDs the re-writable ones didn't work with CD players which always seemed a missed opportunity. But that was ages ago when any burnable optical disc was costly.

What you COULD be recalling is the use RW media as inapproriate to most audio CD applications. That is a very different scenario from present day use of DVD media. Just to be in the best distribution position - you give away read-only write once media because you don't want to give someone a DVD they just might record over.

The RWs are only for my tests of menu operation and how the video appears on various machines.

Still fighting issues with burning, but I think I tripped across an answer just before searching the forum. Had the latest driver for this LG WH12LS38 BD drive. Acted like it was doing something, but wasn't writing. Checked in DVDA and saw the Use Legacy Drivers enabled. Made no sense. Unchecked that and at least it seems to be doing something.
