dvd burner problem

prowler09 · 02-25-2008, 04:31 AM

i've been trying to find out why my dvd burner wont burn dvd's for a little while now...by burn dvd's i mean video files. i make videos and want to put them on a dvd so they will play in my dvd player on the tv. this is the burner i have. ive come to the conclusion that it is a dvd-rom and will not burn dvds, but only reads them. is this correct?

ur burner can burn DVD's no problem. But it could be a software issue.

i use the nero software that come with it. the problem is when i get down to burn the dvd. it wont recognize any type of blank dvd, but it plays dvd's and cd's fine

Nero isn't the greatest. Make sure your PC sees the drive as a RW, that your firmware is up to date, and then try using ImageBurn. It's free and works wonderfully.
