Windows Forum / Windows XP / Hardware / July 2007DVD burner starts burning to DVD-R, then stops
I have a new Toshiba with Vista and DVD Super Multi. I've never had a DVD burner before, so this is new for me. When I try to burn document files to a DVD-R (drag and drop into the burner) it starts and seems to operate normally. When I get it started on a large folder it begins copying to DVD, then gets "stuck" - it stops making its writing noises and doesn't progress in the file copying. Eventually I have to try to cancel, at which point it freezes up and I end up having to reboot. When I check the DVD after that, it is blank, even if I had copied some files and closed it and then started copying again before it got stuck. may I suggest a good burning software I think Nero 7 is compatible. >I have a new Toshiba with Vista and DVD Super Multi.

Check that the DVDs you bought are compatible with the burner. +R and -R and discs of either type from the various manufacturers are all somewhat different from each other and they don't all work equally well in all burners. If the disc doesn't take the initial formatting properly the data can't be written onto it. The activity you saw might have been Windows filling the buffers (or disk cache) prior to trying to burn the files onto the disc.. then stalling when the actual transfer couldn't proceed. >I have a new Toshiba with Vista and DVD Super Multi.

You can also use CDBurner XP Pro. It's free and you can make data cds and dvds. Download is here. http://www.cdburnerxp.se/download.php newtechie >I have a new Toshiba with Vista and DVD Super Multi.
