    Hi woj101

    I hope it was something that simple, it's the type of thing I tend to miss and very difficult to google for. I don't know about dragging and dropping in explorer though, I always use Nero for data dvds and dvddecrypter for video dvds. Just about eveything I know about dvds I got from here -> videohelp.com the answers to pretty much everything dvd-related are in there somewhere and lots of how-to guides

    Cheers bud, I would of never got that :o

    It was indeed that simple, cheers guys. Have successfully witten 2 discs and freed up 8gb of space on my hard drive in the process. All of those were video files and Nero seemed to handle them fine, just dragged and dropped into the Nero window, taking 15 or 16 mins to burn at 4x which seems perfectly satisfactory.

    Computers are annoying, but it's just so much worse when the problem is user-error in the first place. I'm not usually that blonde and was sure it must be some driver issue. Thanks all for your time, I'll check that website out now ATLATA, cheers.
    I am a cider drinker - like my father before me.
