DVD+RW says 'No Medium Present'

[Todd Yocum <odye@bellatlantic.net>]

I've got a question in regards to a 'destroyed' DVD+RW.

The behavior I'm seeing is my DVD drive (a NEC 1100A) isn't
recognizing my media, a Philips 4x DVD+RW.

The specifics are I burned a home movie to the Philips DVD using 
Pinnacle Studio 9,
which said it succesfully burned the DVD. But upon reinserting the DVD into
the same DVD drive, all I get is 'No medium present'

I'm pretty new to DVD burning, so I was surprised to see that
a DVD+RW could be destroyed. It made sense that it could happen
to write-once media like DVD-R, but I figured for DVD+RW there
would always be some kind of way to recover the DVD.

So I've been educating myself on the DVD burning process,
dug down into the guts of the MMC3 spec, etc etc So now I understand
things a little better, but not nearly enough. So I figured I would
check with you guys, who have clearly been dealing with this stuff
for a while:

My question for you is two-fold:

1) Is there any way to recover my DVD+RW so I can use it again?
2) What could have caused this in the first place? What did Pinnacle do?

And here is a little more context, if it helps.

Using other programs like Nero or DVD Decrypter,  I can burn fine
with the same media/DVD drive. And second is the problem
seems to be related to NEC, because several other Pinnacle users have seen
the same problem on various NEC-based drives(HP,Plextor,Tdk,NEC).

Here are the results from mediainfo. Note, I also did a seperate
test where I overrode in the code the mmc_profile result from Read 
Configuration,
but then during Read Disc Information, I get the
'Medium Not Present' SK=2h/ASC=3Ah/ACQ=00h

From what I can tell, the NEC firmware is directly rejecting the DVD.

                                                  Thanks for any info 
you can give,

                                                   Todd
