If you would please list the name/model of your drives, someone can check the User guide and see what the drive supports. Go to Device Manager:
To access Device Manager, use any of the following methods: • Click Start, click Run, and then type devmgmt.msc. • Right-click My Computer, click Manage, and then click Device Manager. • Right-click My Computer, click Properties, click the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager. then click the "+" next to DVD\CD-ROM drives, the name/model should be listed there.
Best Regards!
Edit: I am going to be logged off for awhile, if you check back and have the information available; at the top right corner of this page, enter the name of the drive in the serch box "Keyword Search", you should find documentation on your drive. If you indeed have a DVD+/-RW drive, the 1x-8x media should work fine.

Since Predator is off-line at this time; I am unable to locate a Samsung SM-353F. Could it be a SM-352F? If so, it is a CDRW/DVD (Combo) drive. That means it will read CD and DVD media, but it will only write to CD media. It cannot write to DVD media. So, if it is a SM-352F drive, return the Philips media for a refund. User's Guide is here for the SM-352F ..........
Don't give up yet, Miss Noelle! There is a way to create a disk on your CD-RW drive that will play on a DVD player such as the one in a computer or a stand-alone model normally found next to your television. But, you need the right software to do it. For instance, with my copy of Nero 6 Ultra I can burn a disk known as a VCD disk. You are still limited to a maximum size of about 650 MB because you are writing to a CD and not a DVD blank disk.
If you have a copy of Roxio Easy CD Creator, or other such burning software, it may have this capability to burn VCD disks.
