I cant burn


Liz

Question

Hey,

 

I am a little new at all this so bear with me...

 

I use my Canon Mini DV NTSC ZR85 to take home videos and such and then hook up the canon to my

Dell XPS M140 labtop that has a philips CDRW/DVD Drive using a Firewire 1394 compliant cable to store my videos on my labtop.

 

I also use my usb connection to the Mad Dog external mulitmedia lightscribe 16X Triple Format DVD-RW drive to be able to burn onto dvd's. The mad dog came with the Roxio Creator 8.2 XE software which i can successfully use.

 

Did I confuse you yet???

 

Now all I want to do is burn my project onto a dvd using the maddog. I keep getting this message "insert valid media" and out pops the blank dvd. This happens over and over again. I realize that when i go to save project as the file type is set up to (*.dmsd) and I can not change it. Also I created a video file by changing the output as. The preview is now set to (*.wmv) but when i go back into the menu mode so I can burn it the menu mode is saved as (*.vcd) I am assuming this is why the mad dog can't recognize the media since it is in the wrong format right??? Is there a way to convert this file into a dvd format???

 

Let me know if you are totally confused???

I googled the maddog drive and found this

 

"...The version of Roxio Easy Media Creator only supports VCD, not DVD...."

 

So it looks as if maddog have bundled a crippled version of EMC with the drive and any support is down to them as the OEM suppliers

 

Sorry about that

 

 

Oh so there is nothing I can do? That is awful but thanks for looking into it.
