I just want to say sorry if this has already been covered, I tried to search the forums and didn't see what i was looking for.  OK, Now then.  I purchased Roxio creator 2009.  I tried using the plug and play feature from the menu and everything worked as it should ( I thought), but when i was done the DVD I burned will not load and will not show an error  The disc does show evidence that it has something on it.  I am using a SONY DCR-HC40  Handy Cam. I am using Vista.  Everything is up to date.  I am using DVD-R discs.  Why won't they play?  I don't see anything that suggests this is a difficult task.  Please help me.

Thank you,
Ian

Since there is nothing called “plug and play” in any Roxio product, I will guess you meant Plug and Burn???

If so you should know that nobody who does video uses it because it is so high risk…

Will not play is a little too vague to be of any use. How about some details and error messages. Are you using a PC to try it? Have you tried a DVD Player?

I would also advice getting a disc or 2 of DVD RW media to learn on.

Yes  Sir , Plug and burn.  I did try the disc in a regular DVD player and it just doesn't load, therefor it won't playback.  I watched the entire home movie as it burned onto the disc. At the end , I pushed finish it took a minute or two and said it was successful , but there was an error with creating the menu?  The menu was just the title and a backround image of a theatre , since I was trying to copy a play I was in.

Thanks I will get some RW disc.

Because, if there is even one little hiccup, while capturing and burning, you have a coaster, and you have to begin the process all over again.

If you capture, to your hard drive, then burn to a DVD, even if you get a coaster, you won't have to spend the time capturing again.
