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.

try 1 click dvd copy.its easy and works great also do not have any backround programs running.this includes screensavers.etc.disable everything while burning.having programs running will interfere with the burning of your dvd

My first guess would be the dvd burner because memory does not have a device driver, but you should confirm this by removeing either the memory or the burner to see if the problem persists.\n\nIf it is the burner, you should go the the manufacturer's web site and download and install the latest driver.\n\nIf it is the memory, then you have defective memory and you should return it to the store under warranty.

Your cd drive has failed. Replace it.\n\nBest looking at DVD +- RW's as they are proving more stable than CD writers.

It's possible that the burner on the spare PC is malfunctioning.\n\nAre you able to swap the burner from another machine temporarily to check that this might be the fault?\n\nGood luck!

Finalising closes your disc after you burn it. If you finilaze ur dvdrw u will not b able to erase and reuse the data

Well, this could be a dvd driver problem.\n\nIf you're using Windows XP try to restore the systema on a point check date when you didn't have this problem ...this will solve your problem, or reinstall the Windows OS in an UPDGRADE/RESTORE mode.

Usually has something to do with your DVD decoder.  Try reinstalling your DVD player software.

the burner could be dead ... but go to control panel system hardware device manager ... find ur ide controller and uninstall it .. find ur cd drive IF it shows up and uninstall that to ... if its not showing up in device manager dont worry about it just uninstall the  ide... reboot and see if that fixes it ... a final thought is that some viruses will show up like that ... ive personally had that happen a couple of times over the years so make sure u run a virus scan .... the next step if you got nowhere thus far would be to try another drive out in the system or try ur drive out on another system ... then go from there

try using a different “working” CD/DVD to make sure that the problem is not with your CD/DVD

I used to have this problem. I leave my burner unused for quite a some time. Then i have no problem. But now my burner was unuseable. Still can read but not write.

your dvd burner is givin the error because a: you don't have enough ram on your puter to keep up with its needs, b: your using cheap dvd's, or c: your computer just doesn't like you and should be whacked with a stick till it plays nice again :D\n\nR3dm0

try uninstalling any software pertaining to the burner (add/remove programs) restart the pc and then reinstall the software required to run the burner. also, try using the 'add new hardware' option in your control panel.

try device manager and unistal it \nreboot and let windows find , this sometimes works\ngothe web site of your burning software and see if they have a upgrade for disc (i think its firmware)\ni know nero does and has helped me in the past

It's very likely you CD drive has worn out or broke down. I would get a new one, you can get them very cheap, even a DVD burner drive. Try TigerDirect.

Go into Device Manager, uninstall the cdrom, then reboot. If that doesn't work, reinstall the drivers from the disk that came with the burner, or OS. If you don't have these disks, then download the drivers from the manufacturer's website. What's happening is that you might have corrupted drivers that may need to be reinstalled, or, replaced with newer ones. :)
