DVD won't burn DVD Media!

[Ed]

I got a DVD burner and I'm having problems with it. It
burns a CD normally, plays DVD videos and all but when I
put a blank DVD in it it doesn't do anything, I mean, It
tries to read it but finally stops and when I try to burn
files or video on a blank dvd the program keeps saying to
inserv a blank dvd in the drive but the dvd is already
there! Here are my Burner and Blank DVDs Specs:

Might try a different brand of DVD disk. My father bought several hundruds
on ebay, the work fine on his burner but mine just tries to read and finally
quits. (They were very cheep price).

Sounds like OP is trying to burn a DVD using the native XP burning prog.
Must install nero, sonic, or other dvd burning prog.
