You may like to check 'My Computer' to see if your Dvd-R/rw+/- drive is registering?\n\nAlso, check to see if you have a program controlling the drive, I.e: 'InCd' or another.\n\nAfter this, check your Nero settings, and try burning one or two songs to a cd (Standard Audio format, not Mp3 or anything like that!)\n\nIf this doesn't work, then check your 'Device Manager' for your DVD/CD-ROM drive's status, you can do this by right-clicking 'My Computer', then selecting 'Properties', then 'Hardware', then 'Device Manager', and finally, 'DVD/CD-ROM drives'. Right click the drive, and select it's 'properties' You shoul;d then be faced with a window containing a box named 'Device Status'.\n\nIn the case of the drive not existing on your system, check all of the connectors on the back of the drive (Don't worry, there's only two lol) and also at the other-end, on the Motherboard. Try your system again.\n\nIn the case of the drive existing on your system, try reinstalling your version of Nero from afresh.\n\nAnd finally, if all the above fails, then your drive is probably broken! Try replacing the drive..

go to download.com or try it on the search bar and  type in DVD shrink this is a free download it might ask if you meant shrink DVD which is not what you want it will also help if you have Nero 7 as well to the other question yes you can if you have power DVD there is a snap shot on it for that

When you install the software, do you reboot the computer? How many drives do you have? Check your program to see if you are loading the disc in the one it is expecting to see the blank disc in.\n\nI had a drive go bad and it didn't see anything. You can check that out by putting a program cd in and seeing if it opens or by going to my computer and looking.\n\nAlso, check out your hardware profiles. Look to see if it(the cd burner or reader) is being recognized and the drivers are working properly.

Yes, most movies WILL be able to be burned via DVD burners. This doesn't mean ALL though. I won't say who, but I know a friend that has had quite a bit of trouble burning a movie or two. He's burned probably about 200 though, and maybe 10 or so didn't burn properly. So, it's definitely worth buying a burner.\n\nTo actually do the burning though. You'll want to use DVD Shrink. www.dvdshrink.org\n\nEnjoy! :)

Apparently you have a DVD burner. If you also have a DVD player besides the DVD burner you can put the one that plays in the DVD player in comptuer and put a blank DVD disk in the DVD burner and use Nero (seems to work very well) and choose the option of copy entire disk. This should work for you..If you don't have a DVD player in the computer you can pick up a DVD/CDrw @ walmart (lite-on brand) for around 30-40 bucks....Thanks

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 have found this super annoying problem with burning CDs like that. I will burn some files on one computer, take it over to my laptop and it looks blank!! I use ISO Buster to look at the CD and the stuff is there. Well it seems it had to to with Nero and burning multisession disks or something and Windows wasn't reading them correctly. Are you using a different program to burn? If you use Windows media player to burn a CD, it should definitly read..if not try a different brand of disk. If not then...well newegg.com has some nice 16X Dual Layer DVD-RWs for under $40...

Open DVD Decrypter and go to the Options Menu.\nUnder I/O try checking a box for ignoring I/O read errors.  This may solve your problem.  If not, the copy protection on the DVD is probably a new type and has not been"worked-around" by programmers yet.\n\nAlso try lowering the burning speed to 1-2x lower than the highest available.\n\nie: 16x -- lower it to 8x\nie: 8x -- lower it to 4x.

Proably because you don't have SOFTWARE to burn it. Do you have Nero? If not, Windows has no way to burn DVDs by itself.

You would be better off getting a DVD burner. The more you compress files the worse the quality gets.\n\nYou can find a DVD burner for $25 if you shop around.

someone here mentioned the simulation which is a possibility, but no one mentioned nero's ability to burn to an image file... in this event, the computer would not write to the cd/dvd, but instead write to the hard drive which would explain why the cd/dvd is still blank... for the ones who reported that the drive is broken, nero would report a write error in that event...
