My First Post (Problems) burning ?

[memrd]

Hi all been using limewire for a couple of weeks without a hitch,I got some movies i didnt have codecs for so downloaded real player big mistake ! i think it has done something to my system .As i can no longer use my dvd burner which is an LG GSA-H1OA .It recognises it as a cd burner and intimitantly as a dvd ram drive have tried using Phillips dvd+r 4.7 gb 120min 1-8 x but no joy i can open it up with cd in drive but when i drag and drop i get a windows message saying error have also tried to upgrade the firmware but no joy there either i think i got most of the hidden bits of real player out but could there be something hiding somewhere ?
have since downloaded xp codec pack so i can play all formats now but can`t burn anything have even removed the drive and re installed it but still no joy

Try to remove the remaining parts of RP with CCleaner:

What burning program do you intend to use for burning the DVD's??
I personally use Nero and others here DVD Santa. Both seem to be quite good.
If you don't want to spend money on a burning program, you could take a look at nonags.com to get some free ware:

Cool cheers for the reply don`t have any burning software at present but it looks like nero 7 is the way to go ! was just trying to drag and drop files which i should be able to do without it ? drive was fine before i got real player as burnt off about 4 cd`s worth of pics no probs

Yes, pics are no problem,....but when you try to burn DVD's with it you might need extra codecs from RP which they charge you for (I believe).
