DVD Burning Problems

Raggie

Ladies and Gents, yet more computer problems.

I have been attempting to burn a DVD, from a MPEG file..

Having seen it reccomended several time on here, I downloaded.. and paid for.. a copy of Nero 7.

Having spent yesterday tearing my hair out.. installing, re-installing, changing drivers.. changing firmware in the DVD, this morning I think I know why it is failing to burn..

I am using a Samsung TS H552U drive on version 6 Firmware (one back form latest)

Using DVD-R discs that claim to have 8 X write speed @ 4.7GB

Nero only recognises a disc capacity of 1,396Mb

so when I ask it to do best fit to disc it sizes the files to large to burn on to it.

where has the rest of the DVD capacity gone?

any ideas please..

i had the same problems with nero, so i tried superdvdcreater8.5 which solved my problems. one click programs. also try googling your problem and u will get answers, thats what i do and it solves 99% of my problems.

thanks for the feedback.

Google had failed.. helplines failed.. I find folks on here seem to know as much or more than other forums.. but I solved it..

the blank dvds do not like the samsung burner.. they are ok on my laptop .. but clashed with the desk top????

Bought some others this morning they are ok..
