Help on burning a cd????
 

Hello all

I'm trying to burn videos to a DVD-R on windows media but after it shows its 100% burned a window opens saying there was a problem. Any suggestions?

Make sure your burner is compatible with DVD -R disks If it is, the front of your DVD burner should say DVD-r. Try a different disk. Try another burning software other than Windows Media. You can download Ashampoo Burning Studio free edition, or burn4free from download.com.

I think it depends what kind of file you are trying to burn. most files like mpeg 4, avi etc first have to be converted to vob before being burned. I use convertxtodvd. you can find it for free on torrent sites. or you can pay for it. pm me if you need info on torrent sites.

could it be the DVD-R are really old and not compatible with our newer laptop?

i burn dvds everyday. you must convert to dvd format. what format are you trying to burn?

Tons of variables here. Type of video, data disc or video disc, DVD-r vs +r, playback medium ( computer, tv, DVD player). Need more info.

I'm trying to burn home videos from camcorder. It will act like its burning but at end say encounter problem then dvd is not recognized as blank as if something on it but not recognized by player as anything being on there. I'm a rookie about the format stuff. Been about 6 to7 years since I burned anything, which I did fine. think I had adjust burn speed but worked fine.

you need a dvd converter program. find out what type of file is your video. .xxx the suffix, then google "how to convert .xxx to dvd" and a bunch of programs will come up. there are some free and others for sale. another good one is dvdfab.

How do I find out what type of video format my home videos are?

Helps to squirt some lighter fluid on them, first.

can you transfer video from camcorder to computer? just place mouse over video icon and filename will appear. the last 3 or 4 digits of filename after dot is your file format. .avi, .divx, .camv, etc here is a list of file extensions or formats: http://www.fileinfo.com/filetypes/video once you know your file format just google "how to convert (your file format) to dvd" make sure you find a converter program that has burn function or you may need a separate burn program after converting.

I think my dvd drive is DVDRW, does that mean anything as far as using right disc?

Re: Help on burning a cd????
 

Gave it a try, but when inserting dvd disk it says insert writable disk. Makes me wonder if I got right disk for my burner. Also,I use data button form home videos to burn or the DVD maker one?

Re: Help on burning a cd????
 

i don't know how many times someone has to repeat things to you but if you google "convert mts to dvd" there are many links to find the info you need. dvdrw just means your drive can read and write dvds, you just need blank dvd to burn not data discs.

Re: Help on burning a cd????
 

Well I wasn't sure what if I was doing it right to know if MTS was actually format. I'm a total rookie here. Hovering over icon with mouse didn't work so wasn't sure if properties was right infor or not.
