you will have to select that you are burning a DVD otherwise it will automaticaly select CDr. also if you have twin drive on just the one make sure it is a DVD re-writer as some re-writers only burn CDrs but still play DVDs. they dont burn DVDs. when you are selcting to burn a DVD make sure the drive you have selected to burn the file has made the correct alterations. you should see when you begin it will give you the option to select a drive to burn from. you will normaly find that the same drive has two different sub headings, as if there are two drives using the same name e.g mycomputer/E:nero/DVD and mycomputer/E:nero/CDr notice in the example that both drive are E but at the end it actualy states which drive it is specificaly using. so make sure when you burn a DVD you use the one marked DVD otherwise your drive will try to burn the DVD using it CDr burning tool wich is non compatible as the same would be vice versa DVD to CDr so make sure that even though the drives are the same that correct subdrive is selected. you also might not be noticing the wrong drive is selected or the DVD option is as the file directory address maybe be too big and hidden but a box to the right stating "browse" should reveal the whole directory address and once shown make sure it does have the DVD and not CDr selected.

If you are using Nero quickstart then check that you are making a DVD rather than a CD - it's easy to pick the wrong one and then you constantly get a media error.
Abandon what you are doing and go back to the start screen. Ensure you pick the DVD option and then select your files again. It should work - I got a new DVD writer yesterday and have made 3 DVD compilations and 1 CD so far using Nero and I hadn't used it before.

Have you tried several blank discs? I can burn DVDs using Nero. Are you sure you have a DVD burner and not just a CD burner? It could be a faulty DVD drive. Can you play DVDs on it? The "enter a CDR" message sounds like its a CD drive . . .
Don't throw the computer out, it's either a faulty drive or faulty DVD. Also, DVD R/W is different from DVD R+. If your DVD burner can't erase a DVD R/W disk, it's not a R/W drive, just a write once drive, or DVD R+. Make sure you are using the correct DVD blank. Good luck.

Nero can burn both Dvd's and Cd's, I agree with m_13, check you are creating a Dvd, not a cd in Nero, Nero may not be the best soft. out there, but it is the easiest, that's why you'll find since 1998 (I'm ballparking) it comes bundled with your burners.
Cheers

A similar thing happened to me when my Nero wouldn't accept the blank DVD's i was giving it and it was because my DVD RW driver was missing! So check to see you have the latest versions of your disk drivers! Go to start - right click My Computer and click Properties - click Harware and then Device Manager. Go to your DVD drive and click update (especially if there is a little warning icon)

have you ever succeeded burning those DVDs? if so and abruptly you are able to't, this would factor out a project with the rigidity. in spite of the undeniable fact that in case you've by no ability succeeded in the previous, you are able to pick to objective a diverse style of media. particular burners do not get alongside with particular media, so i might want to first attempt to apply diverse DVD+R discs, also attempt to diminish the burning speed. in case your rigidity helps DVD-R i might want to objective those besides. If all else fails, you are able to examine on line in case you'll come across a firmware improve on your rigidity, that may remedy your project. also, you should use the Simulation option in Nero, instead of growing to be coasters with failed burns.

At the start of the program in the New Compliation window, you choose either CD or DVD. You will know its worked as down the bottom the write to window it will show GBs of memory and not 700mB.

I suspect that you may be using Nero 6, which only works with CD rewriter / DVD reader combo' drives. For CD / DVD rewriter drives, you need version 7.

It could be something as simple as selecting the DVD or CD/DVD tab on the nero control panel instead of CD; or, you don't have the correct format blank dvd for your dvd writer ( DVD-r or DVD+r)
