I have tried to make a copy of a home dvd, and I have used several programmes but they all will not burn the damn thing. I have also ripped it to my HD and tried to burn from there and yet it is still not working. I have a dell dimension 5000, I dont know whether it is the DVD Burner itself or me!

Sounds like the drive. Pick yourself up a new one and install it. Just open the tower, have a look how it is connected, and connect your new one the same way. I would advice an anti-static wrist strap though.
If you do it yourself..you will save tons.

Well, what happens? Does it give you an error midway through or does the burn complete and you just can't read the disc? If it's an error code, you might want to google it. Sometimes you need to download the latest firmware for the DVD-RW drive.
Does it burn data discs? How about CDs? It could be the burner itself is defective, but you'd have to test a few other things. Have you tried burning a shorter movie? Also try a different brand of DVD-R media (for example Fuji instead of Maxell) DVD burners can sometimes be finicky about media.

hi Candace you'll prefer to format the disk first and then burn your files, in spite of the indisputable fact that you'll opt for to work out if there is a few dirt on the laser of the burner, take a can of compressed air and blow it into the CDDVD tray often times dirt can get on it and it might want to't study the disk.
