Simple but not trivial. Since you have used the phrase 'most
compatible' in the subject line, I'm afraid I must recommend using
Windows. Windows is by far the fussiest about disc formats, and it
really can't argue if has done the job itself.
At least two of the sticks I use regularly cause Win8 to complain that
there is a problem with them, although it seems to read and write them
OK, and to be incapable of delivering on its offer to 'fix' them.
