Burning CD's
 

Hello,
I am very new to lime wire. I installed it, however when I try and burn something a message comes up to insert blank cd into tray. I do and I keep getting the same message. Dell Computer, Windows Vista. In the past at one point I was able to copy a cd but it would only play on my computer. Any ideas? Thanks for your help. Lenny:(

1. Only burn onto CD-R's not CD-RW's.
2. Choose to burn at the lowest speed the disk allows.
3. Choose a reliable brand of CD-R to burn with.
4. Better to choose a low speed CD-R disk (eg: speed 1-24) than the high speed disks (up to 52 speed), because some players do not like the high speed disks & especially don't like them burnt at high speeds.
5. Make sure you choose to burn audio type disk, not mp3 disk.
6. Make sure you choose a disk that has never been used before; a new cd-r disk. A CD-R disk can only be burnt once in audio mode. CD-R disks are Write-able once only, not ReWritable.

Cd-rw
 

I only have cd-rw at the moment and the agent with dell is contacting me in the morning at 7 AM. I just don't have the get up and go to go out to the store tonight and get the others. So CD-RW will not work at all. Is that what you are saying.

Yes that's right. CD-RW's will only play in your computer, some dvd players, however some of the very newest cd players can apparently play some. The problem with cd-rw's is they have a very low reflective ability. Too low for the average cd player to detect & read. So yes, CD-RW's is the problem you're having. ;) CD-R's are cheaper anyways. :) (BTW CD-RW's are made differently & use different compounds that enable them to be burnt & erased, compared to CD-R's.)

new to limewire pro and it won't let me burn most of my songs just says something about licensing. Could do it before getting pro????

Burning DVD's
 

Hi Again and thank you for your help with my last problem. I am now attempting to burn A DVD. It is not working for some reason. I can burn music with no problem now.

I have windows Vista, and the DVD's I am using are Philips DVD-R 4.7 GB 120 MIN 1-16 x speed. I am attempting to burn a Move called Fracture with Anthony Hopkins.

Any ideas please let me know.:blink:

Thanks,:p

Lenny, Do you have software to convert the file to DVD format?? Say you downloaded an AVI File well now you will have to convert to DVD to be able to watch on a DVD Player.

When you say it's not working what is happening??

You will also have to have a DVD Burner. You can't burn DVD's with the CD Burner.

Bruning DVD's
 

Hi and thank you for your reply. I will have to think about that. There were different messages. I drag the file to Windows Media Player burn pane and hit burn Brun DVD and it goes through some different messages. First of all it won't launch. It won't play. Although it shows in my vidio library it won't lauch. When I drag the file to the Windows media burn pane a window comes up saying add pictures and video to DVD. Then I don't know what that means. :( This is where I get stuck. I don't know if it down loaded correctly in the first place, because it won't launch in lime wire when I hit the launch button. So that is about all I know for right now. Thanks,
Lenny

WMP is a Royal Pain in the *** if you ask me. I refuse to use it. There are a lot of really good media players out there that won't give you so much trouble.
If your interested, here is probably one of the best, and it's free. You might consider taking a look. Has codecs built in and thats one of the big problems with WMP is you always have to download several codec packs just to get it to play.

VLC media player - Overview.

Hope this helps. :D

Sorry, when I saw that you were using WMP I forgot to tell you that you can't Burn DVD's with WMP. Will only burn CD's. Also see my Edit in post #10.
Thanks, Remoc.

Hi Again,
Not sure about all the lingo. I can burn CD's with no problem. I thought I could just hit the burn button in WMP and go about my business. I just downloaded VLC Media player but not sure if that will do the trick. I am the kinda person if you can explain it to me like I was in 3rd grade.:blink: I am kinds lost most of the time. Some one helped me with CD burning and I got that down now. I just assume that I hit the burn button and go to town. Not quit that easy. I have Vista, Dell Computer. PS can a DVD - R be used again? Like can I erase what is on there. I have used many to try and get this this working. I was just wondering. :blink: The Blank DVD's I have are Philips DVD-R 4.7 GB 120 Min 1-16x max speed. I have no ide what that means. :confused: I have a dual Core processor :whistling: Is there a dvd program I can download to burn DVD's. Thanks for all your help.
