I just bought a DVD recorder (Memorex 16X-DDL-ILO) to burn some of my video productions. It came with Nero and I bought some DVD+R discs with it, and that is the type that comes with the hardware. I can start up the program and design a DVD in Nero just fine, but then when I go to burn it, I get an error that says:
ðŸ˜
This disk is not writable
Please insert a writable disk
ðŸ˜
I have used the one that came with the software, and several of the ones that I bought separate, and no fix to the problem. This type of DVD should be compatible, correct? I even thought it was in need of a firmware upgrade, but I can't find anything that matches this drive.
I've been through the help file a dozen times and by the looks of it, things should be burning just fine, but of course they aren't.
Should I just take the damn thing back and pay more for one that will actually work? Or am I doing something obviously wrong?

Originally posted by CoconutMost people I know that have tried using NERO have experienced this problem at some point. They also seem to think that it is a glitch in NERO rather than user error. From my experience just rears it's ugly head for a while then goes away just as quickly. Bin NERO and find a better DVD burning program. 😀

Originally posted by jimslyp69Nero is a great program, but it's not for incompetents. Are you actually using a DVD or trying to burn DVD material to a CD. Also, check the burn settings, do some research and make sure your material is compatible with both disc and burn process.

From using a blank, disc I have been told that I have to insert a disc numerous times, only for me to have success with the same disc seconds later without changing any settings whatsoever. As I said before, I am not the only person I know who has suffered this problem. I think that pretty much rules out my hardware, the discs that i use and user error. Or perhaps not. If you could solve this problem, I and a few friends and members of my family would be eternally grateful.

Originally posted by StarrmanWhen I insert a CD, it gives a different error, which is to be expected. The box says it is compatible with DVD+R, and like I said, the drive came with 1 blank DVD of that type.

I'll try the damn thing again when I get home from work.
Originally posted by CoconutI had some problems with a bad batch of CD's that I wanted to burn.
The nero startsmart icon is on my desktop, but that seems to activate nero express when I select DVD-Video.
It might be something like that, See if you can use another brand
just to check out that possibility. I have used several types of burners
and have had some problems with Nero. Check out another brand if you can.
Originally posted by Derfel CadarnThat stuff is awesome. My buddies and I tracked some down last year cause Dan claimed he could fit no less than 4 bags in his mouth at one time (no swallowing, minimal chewing). One of the most disgusting things I have seen in awhile. So there I was 4 months later (xmas) sitting around playing Risk with my brothers and 1 of their friends, so I shared the wealth (BLC). This guy had never even heard of Big League Chew before. Like wtf? how can have not heard of the greatest gum ever produced? Anyhoo, I managed to edumacate him and he was quite grateful. 15 years of life w/o BLC just blows my mind.
You know what I haven't had in awhile? Big League Chew...

Originally posted by zebanoI've never heard of it either. Before you try to edumacate me about it too, don't, I'm not interested thanks. Gum....pah! 🙂
