I have a dell computer with windows xp. I have a memorex DVD compact disc rewritable 16X installed. Nero showtime has worked in the past to play DVD's but it has now stopped working & tells me internal error-cannot build graph. the application may be installed incorectly. I have not done anything to it since i initially installed it. I have internet explorer 8

If you're trying to watch videos etc then the absolute easiest format to work with is ISO

It's basically an "image" of the original dvd. I usually use a program called Imgburn when I'm using Windows or Toast if you've got a mac.

Just make sure the ISO you download is 4.7gbs and below or else it won't work.

You can also convert any video to work with the blank dvds but you'll have to convert them using another program, for this I usually use Nero. It takes forever though so try to stick to the iso's ;)

Hope this info helps!

What software are you using to burn?
How big is the data you are burning?
Are you burning data, video (what format)?
What error did you get?

You can't burn a DVD movie using a COMBO drive or Compact disc rewriter, change your movie format from DVD to VCD and then try again, I recommend you use nero to make/edit movie and ImgBurn to make ISO image and burn it onto disc.

As from your question I can say that you are only using windows default copying service. First of all you must try copying the data using some third party softwares such as Ashampoo or Nero. You can try to burn a CD/DVD image with it or simply try to write data using these softwares. Dell has been suspected of having this problem in few cases, so DVD RW drive might also be faulty. Also, there is this microsoft page which can be useful: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316529

I was also suffering this problem with Nero 6. To solve your Problem first make sure that the windows you are using that supports your Software if supports, then your Optical Drive may not Write in high speed 16x or 18x, write your files in DVD in little bit slow speed, after doing all this if it gives same problem then Please reinstall your windows you are using.

It sud b on Nero Express

Hi, burning a WMV file to a dvd wont work on a standard dvd player due to the format, easiest way to fix the problem is using Nero, and selecting video disc and it will convert the file when it burns the disc to a playable format..

Have a nice christmas

John

Some DVD players cannot play certain types of disks mainly -R discs. Check compatability in the DVD player's manual. Try using +R discs for peace of mind...
