yes burning video dvds...when I try using a burning program its not reading the drive...its saying insert a blank dvd when I already have a blank drive in...

thank

What program are you using to burn & what version is it? It may require an update. Do you have the "full" version of the burner program or the "lite" version. It might not be able to burn dvd's.

What is your brand & model of dvd burner?

The other issue might be the dvd media. Are you using DVD- or DVD+ disks. Make sure both your burner & the burner program can burn both! Also some burners are brand sensitive (ie: don't burn well with some brands of dvd.)

I believe its a Ulead program/creator which allows me (i hope)
to all access to burn

Ulead comes with some burner brands. Tell us about your burner. Let's find out which media it can burn. As I said, some burners can only burn dvd plus, some dvd minus & some both types. dvd- & + are like the differences between beta & vhs video. They do the same thing but are different formats. So if you have a dvd- disk, try a dvd+ disk. If you have a dvd RW burner, try it out on a dvd-/+rw disk if you have one.

I have 52x32x52 cdrw & 16xdvd ide drive...it uses all dvd+r,rw,etc. and it came with nero express do I need anything else...?

What brand & model is it?

Are you using a dvd+ disk to try to burn with. Double-check that it says dvd+R & not dvd-R. Or can it burn both?

What version of Nero is it? I think you need at least Nero version 6 to burn dvd's. And what's more, Nero might not fully recognise your burner unless you have all the updates for it. Particularly if it's very new model of burner. If you have Nero v.5 then you'd at least need xtra mpeg2 plug-ins to burn video dvd's & probably updates to recognise your burner for burning dvd's.

Another thought, what size disk is it you're using? Is it 4.7 GB or 8.5 GB disk? http://www.answers.com/topic/dvd
