my video that was put on my computer from my video camera will not burn onto my DVD+RW discs.?

Question

i have a video and pictures that i put together that was made in windows movie maker and saved on my computer. Windows media player will not burn the video onto the discs (DVD+RW) says that i should change the speed or check for scratches. Where do i go to put my video on to my dvd??

Answer 1

Do not use the WMP to burn the DVD, Use a third party software such as Nero, Save the file, then use Nero to compile it to DVD, Nero will format the DVD to the specs needed to play the file correctly, and if Nero says it can't record, then something is wrong... Nero has never failed Me, I use Nero 6.6.0.18, Excellent Burning Software, and it came bundled with my DVD Burner... Good Luck

Answer 2

If it is a clean, new DVD-RW the burner could be the problem. Go to the manufacturer's site to see if they recommend the brand you are using.

Many firmware updates are exactely for this reason, to expand your blank media choices.

Also, try slower multiples of the top speed the blank is rated for because the longer the laser 'burns' a spot, the stronger the image.

Watch out for vibrations while burning. Since the tracks make human hairs look gigantic, it only take a kid running by the computer to mess it up. Especially on old wooden floors.

I also agree that WMP is not the greatest choice.

Good burning,
