if you are trying to use the in-built Windows writing tool, then AFAIK it
won't write to DVD - you need a third-party application to do that.

Correct. But even if he is trying to "copy" to a CDR, it can't do that.
Unless you have special "packet-writing" software installed, you can't
simply copy a file to a CDR as if it were a hard drive or floppy.

Hi--I've successfully created a movie and saved it to my computer, but once I
copied the movie to a DVD (using InterVideo WinDVD creator) to play on my
television, the quality degraded considerably--much blurrier picture on TV
than on computer. Has anyone found a way to copy movies from computer so
that they play on television DVD player with minimal quality deterioration?
thanks in advance for any and all help.
