You need a DVD burner to write onto DVD-R disks. DVD rom drive can only read from dvds. CDR can only write to CDs SignatureRehan www.rehanfx.org - get transitions and effects for Windows Movie Maker >i have a dvd rom drive and cdr but trying to burn useing "nero" > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> >> Do you have a DVD burner or just a DVD-ROM drive?

We await your revolutionary insights with great curiosity. SignatureIan. Don't understand your post Ian, nobody has said that a cd burner can burn dvds, unless you think Rehan when he said cdr can read and write suggested dvd's. I took it he was just implying a cd-r can read and write cd's and not just read them as the previous poster said :) Graham SignatureGraham Hughes MVP Digital Media Laird of Glencairn www.dvds2treasure.com www.simplydv.com CDR can only write to CDs > > > Cdr can read and write. :) > > Please tell us how to write to DVD-R with a CD burner.

We seem to have established that the major roadblock to this process is that he doesn't have a DVD burner: "i have a dvd rom drive and cdr but trying to burn useing "nero"" Rehan has observed, and quite correctly as far as I know: "You need a DVD burner to write onto DVD-R disks." Shaun has responded, in two separate posts, to the problem the OP is having burning to DVD-R by informing us: "Cdr can read and write. :)" and, just to really clarify his stance: "CDR can only read, a burnner can read and write." The complete absence of a DVD burner on the OP's system is apparently not an obstacle to burning DVDs according to Shaun, which is what prompted my question. Regards, Ian. ; ) SignatureGraham Hughes MVP Digital Media Laird of Glencairn www.dvds2treasure.com www.simplydv.com CDR can only read, a burnner can read and write. > i have a dvd rom drive and cdr but trying to burn useing "nero" > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > -- > > Ian. |
