Burning Photo Story 3 to DVD problem.

[Guest]

After downloading Photo Story 3 and buying the Sonic/Roxio Sonic DVD for
Photo Story 3 for Windows, I am unable to burn the project to DVD.

A message appears in the Sonic final stage stating the wrong media is in my
Lite-On
DVDRW SOHW-1633S (CD-ROM drive).

I have tried different makes of DVD's with out results.

Can anyone help me please? Its got to be worth a pint for someone.

I have had success doing this with DVD-R media on a DVD+-R drive and
Sonic/PhotoStory 3.

I make DVD-movies all the time..I would say ROXIO is very good..I used the
Photo Story 3 for a Still Slide Show..its PAN&ZOOM feature is excellent..but
I always "BURN" my DVD's in ROXIO DVD-Builder..the most important thing is
compatibility..your DRIVE must be Compatible with your BLANK Disk..the
DVD(dash)Disk is your Compatible disk for the Home DVD-player(and PC)..the
DVD(plus)Disk is PC-only..and the new DVD-Dual Layer is a PLUS Disk only(so
far)..Do Not Play a PLUS Disk on your DASH DVD-writer Drive..my experiance
w/that was not very good..if your going to purchase Optical Drives I would
recommend a (-+)Combo..Software is next..ROXIO is excellent I have
found..NERO is complicated..but you get DOLBY-Digital(audio)..TDK makes the
best Quality in DVD-blank Media..but I'm beginning to find that quality for
less money..always DEFRAG-your Files..and even perform a Re-Start once in a
while..I sometimes even RUN CHKDSK..before I BURN a Blank disk with a Video
File..you can jump between Software Programs that accept the same File
Extensions..but then you need to recognize where some "noise" might be being
created along the way..avoiding the complications is the best way to enjoy
making Digital Video movies..finding short-cuts takes time..your software
must be registered and Updated to work properly.
