DVD RW

[^QualiFieD]

I have nero 7 and im using a DVD RW to burn some movies and stuff... but when i erase it full erase i get errors when trying to burn another movie into the disc.

AnyOne can help know why how

do you know how many times you can erase and burn movies on to a dvd rw

you aren't finalizing it are you?

finalized disc's can't be erased if I remember correctly...

i am but i tried unchecking that option in nero 7 but it wont let me

dvdrws can be erased heaps of times..

if you arent erasing it by going my computer > erase dvdrw then i would try it..like so



i didnt have a dvdrw handy but try that way..i cant remember if it works with dvd's

i tried burning another movie , then it asked to erase what was currently burned on it in order to burn the new movie, now its corrupt for some reason dvdrw is broke now.

I haven't done this in years, but I believe there are two options for erase. One of them is short and takes less than 2 minutes and the other is a longer process. Try erasing the disc with the longer process. If that doesn't work just go out and buy a 50 pack for $5 or something. They have deals all the time.

I'm almost positive once a disc is finalize it cannot be erased...


I'm with matt on the just go out and buy some cheap dvd's...

invest in a dvd player capable of playing divx files (it will play the .avi files you DL) and you can just burn data dvd's, no converting necessary, and you can get 6 movies on the dvd (providing the movies are 700mb each that is)...best buy always has dynex cheap-0 dvd 50 packs for $8.99 and circuit city always has sony dvd 50 packs for $10...

Yeah, in some instances you can get a 50 pack free. I have seen these deals many times in the Office Depot or Office Max ads. The DIVX is a great option. A lot of movies seem to be 1.38. If thats the case you will be able to fit 2 or 3 movies onto one disc. You have to author the disc though so it can have a menu for an option to play whatever movie.

idk what authoring a disc means, I just choose burn data dvd and then whatever the title is when I add the file is the name that shows up on the tv when you click the "info" button or whatever it is...

and yeah if a movie is 2 parts you could get (3) 2 part movies on the disc...
