Virtually all modern DVD Burners have a stylized 'RW' logo on the drive bay door, with the words "DVD+Rreadwriteable" underneith in small print.  I have included a link to the picture you will be looking for: http://lacie.de/imgstore/product_container/dvd+rw_logo.jpg

You need a DVD burner in order to burn a DVD.  The burner should come with proper software for burning DVDs.

If you have a DVD+/-R drive, you can read the disk off a +R disk and copy it to a -R disk.  Check in your DVD burner software for a "disk Copy" utility.

They shouldn't do. Try another burning app and if it still does it then its the burner or the discs

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.

To to My Computer, right click, go to Hardware, Device Manager and see if you really have a DVD/CD ROM drive.  My guess is you only have a CD drive, which will neither play nor burn DVDs.\n-MM

If it's for a desktop/external?  Look at the outside cd-tray.  It will say something like either "DVD-rom" or "DVD +/- RW" or something like that.  If it says "DVD +/- RW" or "+/- R" or any combo containing the ending of RW  or R then, yes, it's a burner.

it could be because your burner broke?  or maybe it got unplugged?  Is it an internal burner or an external one?  If external, make sure that it is powered and that the connection cable is secure.\n\nThe best way to test is to simply put a regular music CD on the burner and see if you can play it using Windows Media Player.  Or just put in a software CD and see if you can access the files in it.  \n\nThis will tell you if your burner is still working.

The easiest way is to look at the front of the drive, it should say something about being a burner or if it has three speeds listed it can burn. Another way is if you bought your computer from somewhere and have the model number of your computer then you can google or yahoo search that and it should result in a few pages which should say if your computer came with a CD burner or not.
