I cannot seem to burn dvds in nero to be read on xp home/xp pro

TRY USING NATIVE BURNING PROGRAMS AND DOWNLOAD FFDSHOW

The specs on your PC can be found by clicking here. From what I read on this page, you can record CDs, but only read DVDs. So, to burn DVDs, you would need to purchase and install a DVD burner. They are pretty inexpensive right now, so if someone in your area is handy with PC stuff, they could install one within 10 minutes for you.

Good Luck

Nero 6 and 7 does not provides us the facilitiy of burning the DVD in appropriate DVD Format. Instead it burns the DVD in the normal DATA Format, which is not supportable by our DVD Player. To play the DVD in our DVD Player we should burn the DVD in the appropriate DVD Burner which itself converts the extension of the movie and make it proper for a DVD Player to read it. It also adds some files to the DVD which is sometimes used by the dvd player in running the DVD.

go to nero 6.66 and use imation discs, if your os is running ok and you do not suceed whith that i told you, your dvd unit is bad.

You should be using the software "NERO" to burn discs.Goto>start>all program>Nero>Data>NeroExpress

Here you clearly see the two types to burn disc "data cd" and "Data dvd".

Need More help?.if yu are using another software whats that?

no data dvds work on the players.

use NERO 6 OEM to write Video DVDs or CDs they will run Players

Try using nero to burn, be sure to select cd as the type of media... e.g Start > all programs >> nero >> data >> nero express .. Then
select cd, data cd,, drag some pics across and burn it.. If that dont work.. i hope u got warrenty... or if you wish to keep trying let me know

First thing would be to test to see if you can burn a data dvd with Nero. If you can, than its not a problem with the drive. If your burner can't burn a regular data dvd, return it. If it can, then it is very likely the software you are usuing. Nero can't burn copyrighted dvds at all. If you havne't tried copying other dvds than you should definatly do that. No software, at least that I'm aware of can can copy every dvd, different dvds use different encryptions, and they are coming out with new methods it seems like all the time. I would recommend Dvd Shrink and Clone Dvd. I have not been able to copy every dvd I have, but I have been able to backup the ones I really need backuped.

Right click My computer>Explore, and see if your dvd writer is showing as a DVD RW drive and not a CD Drive, then come back
