Recordnow 7.1

[mach]

i have nevered tried to burn a dvd, but ithought i could burn my pictures to a dvd. i have tried several times now and it always kicks the disc back out and says "please insert an appendable data disc. ???? i'am using Verbatim DVD-R. no matter how i try it , it keeps kickin' it out. i don't have a clue.

Either the software doesn't recognize your DVD, or it has been formatted, or it has been used and closed.

 

What model is your burner, and is it a DVD burner?

Is the disc you're using fresh and unused?

What application in RecordNow are you using?

Are the pictures on your hard drive?

Give us some details of what you are doing.

 

The above is assuming you have a DVD burner installed.... (many users post on here and they have a combo CD-RW-DVD ROM)

There are no separate applications in RecordNow apart from DLA and SBU, Tony. There are only the menu options for an Audio CD, a Data Disc, or Exact Copy. He has to be using Data Disc in the Home application.

Being familiar with the software I had already set my hook and was waiting patiently for an answer when your hook whistled over my shoulder.

when i open RecordNow, at the top it says: Philips DVD+RW 9 (E:). i have never burned a dvd. ihave burned cds before, and i was just trying to put all of my pictures on a dvd. i have approx. 3gb of pictures and a friend said that they would all fit on 1 dvd. the computer is approx. 4yrs. old and RecordNow came with it pre loaded. thanks

 

i can burn the pictures on a cd, no problem. when i try to do it on a dvd, it kicks it out and says to insert an appendable disc. the dvd discs are DVD-R if that makes a difference.

What is the id string of your burner? (right-click MyCompuer > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager > click on the'+' by the DVD/CD-ROM drive icon to expand it, and copy the id string - character for character, upper and lower case exactly, space for space.

Try using some + media, the DVD drive that you have will not support burning DVD-R and DVD-RW

media. It will burn the DVD+RW,DVD+R, CD-R and CD-RW media.
