How do I know if my DVD player is also a DVD burner?

Question

It says on the front of my modem DVD ROM & compact DISC Rewritable. I have installed the cyberlink power dvd 6 deluxe and the Yasa MOV to MPEG converter. I can convert my .MOV files to .MPEG and even get these files to go onto a cd. I am able to then play this cd in my dvd player on my pc and on the dvd player of my tv. But what I want to do is burn these files to a dvd. I believe I have everything to do this, even my pc manual says that I can create a video DVD. But it does not tell me how. Whenever I try, the dvd ejects and the screen reads please put in a writable disc, even though it is. Please help, soon!

Answer 1

You need to buy a DVD+R disc that can only be written to 1 time. Or you can buy a DVD+RW that can be written to many times, but needs to be erased every time you want to write to it.

Answer 2

the answer is right in front of you it says DVD ROM & Compact Disc Rewritable
DVD ROM means reader only
Compact Disc rewritable means CD burner and reader

Answer 3

Some disks can't be written on more than once, dvd-r can only be written once dvd-rw can be written more than once, or dvd+r.
Maybe you're doing it wrong when you're trying to write?

Answer 4

ROM = READ ONLY. Sorry you can't burn DVD's with it.

You could do VCD or other CD video format.
