I have captured footage from a camcorder and edited. When I attempt to burn, it goes through a painfully slow encoding process and then that's it...no burn?! I have successfully burned CD's using Audio Central. Why am I unable to burn onto DVD?

Do you have a DVD burner?

Fair question I guess! Yes I do, it's a Philips DVD RW 228.

A check of google suggests your drive uses DVD plus media - have you been trying to use DVD dash media?

I thought that may have been the problem but am using JVC DVD+RW. I have tried -R's but the DVD writer does not recognise the media so +R's are definately the ones to use.

Since you do have some reusable RWs, Try this.

Open Builder, Burn.

Will that work with the default?

If not look in Device Manager and check the drives. Any errors listed?

Did that writer come with Nero to burn DVDs? I went to the Philips site and for updated software and drivers, they connect you to the Nero site.

If so, you've probably got two packet writing software packages on your computer and you'll need to uninstall Drag to Disk.... or the Nero packet writing software (InCD?. My memory is failing me today.)
