DVD RW + CD RW

[Guest]

I have a DVD player and CD burner that have functioned perfectly. I have now added a DVD burner. Whilst it can play DVDs the software will not recognise it as a burner. It only offers the CD burner.(I have tried Pinnacle 8 SE and Nero 5.5). Any solutions???

Sounds like your drive is not supported by your

software. Try to download all the latest updates for the
software or look for some that supports your particular
drive.

I have a DVD player and CD burner and I too have recently
added a DVD burner.

The software that works the best are 321 Studios DVD X
Copy and B.H.A.'s B' Recorder Gold 5.

Solution 1: Make sure that you have the latest driver and
firmware for your DVD Burner.

Solution 2: Make sure that you have installed a DVD RAM
driver for your DVD Burner. Otherwuse WinXP won't know
how to use it as a DVD Burner.

BTW after I installed my burner WinXP also unchecked both
Burners as the default WinXP CD Burner. You might want to
check that too

I believe you need version 6 of Nero for DVD burning.

There is a known restriction within xp that you can only
have one defined active burner at a time. check the
knowledge base for the article. i don't recall reading
anything about a (planned) fix.

You tried a right-click on the drive|PROPERTIES|RECORD tab?
Enable recording, if that choice is available.
