hello,
this is my first computer with burning capability. i used roxio dvd creator 6
to burn 4.5gb on a fujifilm dvd+rW 4.7gb
disc. the files i burnt were a mixture of
avi and wma.
when i went to play it on my Govideo
vcr/dvd player. I received the error "unknown disc". i checked the documentation for the player and it stated it would play DVD+RW discs.
so my question is what should i do now?

thanks,
craig

Sounds like all you did was burn the files to a disc.These will not play in a dvd player.The avi files need to be encoded to dvd format so that the dvd player recognizes them.

And to put them in proper format you would use DVD Builder and add the files in there.
