hi,
i am having problems with buring on my computer...im thinking that its the discs i bought to burn to which are kodak dvd-r 4.7 gb 1-8x but i want to be sure. everytime i put them in the drive to burn it spits them out after a while saying please insert a writeable disc. i have burnt off this drive before doing pictures and different discs. but now im trying to burn a movie and now to sure if i have to change something or if it is the actual discs i bought. any ideas??

could be the disks or first sign of the writer going wrong

I assume you cannot try any older DVDs that used to work
do you have anything like a RW - DVD or CD

I dont have any other blank discs at the moment but when i did put in another disc (a printer install disc) it read it fine, i wanted to see if it was the actual cd driver that was buggered but it doesnt seem to be.

is that without any programs running to write tothe drive

everytime i put them in the drive to burn it spits them out after a while saying please insert a writeable disc.

what writing software do you have
Roxio and Nero both have a tool to write to cd/dvd like a hardrive - one is called INCD cant rember the other - i wonder if thats ejecting them

ive tried writing it with divx software also nero and windows media player and no such luck
