Problem with DVD-RW
I'm having problems copying to my DVD-RW using windows XP. It's not able to recognise the RW disc.
However, when I copy music using windows media player there is no problem.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
many thanks

Hi Absolutely Fabulous,
As far as i'm aware, the 'Burning' utility built into Windows XP does not support DVD-R/RW, hence the reason it only works okay using Windows Media. However, there may be a 'hotfix' around online, it might be worth popping onto the Support page.
Alternatively, there's far better programmes out there for DVD Recording, try having a look at Nero Burning Rom, I think there's a 15 day trial on the site and is very easy to use. Or, if you go here, and type in 'DVD Recording', it'll bring up a whole host of freeware/payware DVD Recording programmes.
Hope that's of some use,
Cheers,
Geoff

Just been looking at my user guide for the HP pavilion running XP. Might help? on my pc "DVD-R/DVD-RW will not 'burn' in the DVD writer drive" Only DVD+R or DVD+RW. Then I use the Arcsoft ShowBiz2 that comes with XP to burn.
