The first thing you need is a DVD burner. \nhttp://froogle.google.com/froogle?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2006-08,GGLG:en&q=dvd%20burner&sa=N&tab=wf\nThen you need DVD Burning Software. Like Roxio or Nero. Nero is best.

I can only tell you what how to trouble shoot\n\nFirst, you have to understand that burning a dvd is not an excact science.So try these steps\n\n1-Try to upgrade you software as best you can, to your specficic needs. Some software may not support some of the burners option with out additional upgrades. Be aware that some of these "upgrades" cost may cost you some cash.\n\n2-Up load the latest drivers for your hardware. Meaning goto the manufactures site for the latest device drivers etc.\n\n3-Double check the settings in you computer to see if it is set up right. Windows Me and Xp both have diffrient ways of setting up the burner. For Example in windows ME there were tabs in the properties of the device that let you set DMA options etc. Now in windows XP there are multiple tabs and check marks that let you check weather or not let this device be able to record to or not. So duoble check the settings no matter wich version of windows you have.\n\n4-Experiment a little you will find that using diffrient combinations of the software may solve your problem.\n\nFor example, I was using dvd shrink with nero burning but other dvd players could not read my copies. I ruturned the drive and still had problems burning. Well, I switch to Roxio and presto, my problem went away\n\n5-try using diffrient media types. Like DVD + to DVD- and try using diffrient brands also.\n\nIt will take some time to fix your problem but well worth it when things start run smoothly.

Multiple factors could be the problem:\n\n-The software you used to burn the DVD\n-The DVD, itself\n-The DVD player you're trying to play the DVD with\n\nI suggest downloading Nero Burning ROM to burn your DVDs. I've found it to be more stable than other programs out there.\n\nAlso be sure that you're burning the DVDs to the proper format that your player will support. Some DVD players won't play DVDs that are encoded for a different country's standard, for example. Make sure that before you burn the DVD, that you've looked up all the format settings that you're going to need to use.

Its not the computer, its the driver.\n\nLook on your CPU and see if you have a DVD driver. It should say DVD on it. If it just says CD-ROM then you cant burn DVDs.

you need a CD (or DVD) burner and a burning program

I was the same as you when i was starting to burn DVDs and now i've gotten to be a pro! \n\nFirst go to: http://www.dvd-guides.com/content/view/58/59/ and read/download WINAVI (you can get the serial number to upgrade anywhere on the web - google it or try crackzplanet.com). Win AVI is very easy to use and it changes your .avi video files into files that can be burnt on to a disk. Note* from the guide on the website miss out steps 4 and 5 as they are not needed. \n\nThen go to: http://www.dvd-guides.com/content/view/40/59/ and read/download the Nero software. Nero is the best one out there and it is so simple to use - trust me i have tried hundreds. Again, you can get the serial code to upgrade the trial version to the full version anywhere on the web. \n\nWith regards to what disk you use, DVD-R is fine. The R bit on the end means that it will burn information on to it and it will be read. You can also get DVD-RW which is the same but it means that you can rewrite the data (delete what's on the disk and then replace it with something else). \n\nOh and once you have burnt your DVD do not let it get any dust or scratches on the disk as then it will not play! \n\nI hope this helps you.

I don't know what your question is.\nMaybe you need to update firmware, look up your drive on internet and search for firmware update.\nMaybe driver, same as above.\nMaybe it is ok but you don't have or know how to use software used with DVD.\nTry to re post with more information.

I've used DVDStyler in the past; it's not too bad.  You make the menu, link it to the mpeg2 video files you want to use (it may take other stuff too), and it produces an ISO to burn.  I couldn't burn the ISO using Nero Express 5, but DeepBurner (also free) seems to work for burning these ISOs.

I would suggest using AVI2DVD because its free and probably the best tool out there: http://www.techroam.com/how-to-burn-avi-to-dvd/

.iso files are images of discs. You can use Nero to burn this image to disc. Roxio should also be able to do this, but i prefer Nero.

Do you want to copy files to a DVD? You need to make sure you have the appropiate hardware first. Any specifications you can post about your computer?

That software is completely illegal and most of the versions of it are completely illegal.  You can try to find a program that will "rip" the dvd to your hard drive and then you can create and burn a dvd image from there, but it's not really worth the time and effort unless you're going to sell them or something.  If you're just trying to get cheap dvd's for yourself, go to a video rental place and buy their used ones, they usually have good deals and at least you get a case.

dvdshrink has worked perfectly for me for years.  You jsut need to have the software that came with your dvd burner to actually put it onto a disk - dvd shrink will convert the files and save them on to your hard drive (unless you have nero, then it will burn it automagically)

Tech Man is right   www.newegg.com  has got  good ones cheap  NEC is really good i have 2500 burns on mine still works great.  Some DVD Burners come with Nero.  Some are OEM wich is just the DVD Drive.  You can get nero from the nero.com website for a trial, then search online for a serial number and get the progam for free. But its not recommended.   Good Luck man but Nero is the Best no questions asked!
