My question is, how do you burn a dvd? because whenever i burn video files ,that are 20 mins or so long, into DVD-R disc that is either 4.7 gb or 8 gb disc none of my dvd players(all of my dvd players can play all formats) can not read my disc it says its "empty disc" or "can not read disc" and whenever i try to play the dvd onto my computer its usually empty. Whenever i take a look at the disc it looks like nothing has bee burned onto it even though, during the burning process, i can hear my cd/dvd drive burning the video files onto the dvd it still does not work. This has been happening for a long time now and i have been so mad, so can anyone help me out please i have to make a lot of space on my hard drive because it is almost full!!
ps. i used both nero startsmart and Roxio Easy Media Creater 8 to attempt to make the dvds. I dont have Nero so all i have is Roxio

you should use nero. check which burning device is selected. if image recorder selected change it. and select verify disk after burning.read the log files.if there will be a problem you can figure out.

I use both Roxio and Nero and have no problems. I am wondering if you actually have the burner in your computer. I did this for quite some time before finding out that I didn't have a DVD burner. Hope this helps. Look closely at the front panel. You may have a DVD player, but not a burner.
