I am trying to add movies to My DVD to burn an educational video DVD. I have had no problem with any of the lessons in the series until now. When I try to add one particular movie, it says, "file is unseekable and has not been added." It is in the same format as the others. I downloaded it again just in case the original file was corrupt, and have even changed the extension from .asf to .wmv. Still get the same error.

all drivers/firmware that I'm aware of are all updated
I've uninstalled all of the EMC9.0 programs that I don't think I'll be using

Then the file you downloaded is corrupted and won't work. I would suggest contacting the website, from which you downloaded the file, and tell them that there is a problem with the file. I have had to do that with corrupted files that had nothing to do with video.

I thought that might be the case, but the video plays on the computer without any problems. I'll contact them anyway, though.

Thanks

Well, if it plays on the computer, it may not be a bad file. Contact them, and ask if that file is any different than the other files, in any way, outside of the content, of course.
