You need a software to burn DVD, Im using the software called NERO.
BUt there are alot of software available for free on the internet.

If the disk is "write protected" nero won't copy it, try a different program that isn't "copyright protected like, any dvd.

What software do u use to write DVDs on both PCs...
if they are different then that may be the issue....
dont spoil the DVDs....
try DVD RW disks...that way you can erase them later...
i too have the same DVD writer, not had any issue in either XP or Win7....i have dual boot and have made many movie DVDs using both OS...i use Nero and Power2Go of LG(the install disk that came with the LG DVD writer has this great software...."LG Power tool")
try this tool...it should work...

the inbuilt DVD creator in Win7 has some issues with DVD creation....due to non compatibility of graphics card and display drivers (WDDM)....+ you may not have the correct codec required to burn DVDs.....
get the FFDSHOW codec from google.... and install it...shutdown and restart and then try...
let me have a feedback pls...

You get all legal downloads for nero clicking here: Download Nero.

Illegal and pirate software is not allowed on Fixya.

This drive is normally supplied with a couple of Dells.
(because of compatibility) Inspiron 700m,710m

If you have another machine for testing?
check the disk for contents to see if the data burn happened,
this will explain a few things in your processes.

Uninstall/Reinstall the drive and reboot then try again.

Have you tried a full system reinstall yet?
Did it fix your problem?Please let me know thanks

Hi,

To burn DVD video with Nero, u need to buy the DVD video (like DOLBY) plugin from the nero site. Alternatively. u may use some open source plugins for the same,........but not with the Nero!

Try some other free DVD authoring tool on the net.

bye

I hope this solves ur problem

Have a nice time

You should be using the software "NERO" to burn discs.Goto>start>all program>Nero>Data>NeroExpress

Here you clearly see the two types to burn disc "data cd" and "Data dvd".

Need More help?.if yu are using another software whats that?

Yes, you can install the cd with the Nero Software in the new Laptop, and you will be able to write CDs or DVDs, but if you have a combo only you will only be able to write/burn CDs but read DVDs no problem.
ciao Ed.

If you use the Nero Smart start, you should see an icon to switch from burning CDs to burning DVDs. Once you click this icon, you should be able to burn to DVDs.
