Will Not Recognize Previously Recorded DVD

[RJK]

I have a new computer with Windows Vista and Roxio Creator 9. On my previous computer running Windows XP and Roxio Creator 9, I recorded several movies. The Drag-To-Disk on my new computer will not recognize these disks. After I insert them into the drive, the drive light flashes continuously with nothing appearing on Drag-To-Disk or Drag-To-Disk says that there is no disk in the drive. Commercial DVD Disks work fine as well as brand new blank disks........Any advice would be appreciated..

Drag to Disc can't burn a DVD compliant movie, so if you used that program to burn to a disc, you will have some sort of data disc.

 

If you still have your XP computer, copy the contents of the discs to your hard drive, and burn them to a DVD, using Creator Classic, if you just want them as data.

RJK,

 

What version of EMC 9 are you using? 9.0 or 9.1 ??

 

Were these discs your new machine won't recognize burned with Drag-to-Disc V9 on your old machine?

 

Will your new machine recognize data discs which were burned with Creator Classic, and not D2D? (they use different writing methods)

 

With earlier versions of EMC 9, Vista will block some of the D2D drivers and cite a compatability issue until you do the Sonic DLA update. Did you get that error message with yours, and if so have you done the update?

 

Regards,
