I figured it out, I had tweaked with some of the settings and it's good now. The only real problem I'm having is this: It reads the original DVD no problem and all I have to do is put in a fresh DVD-R and press BURN a message says

"Writing to video media was not successful:
media write error

A write error has occurred, probably caused by bad media.
Please replace the media and try again"


OK the dvd I was trying to use was a MEMOREX 16x 4.7 GB DVD R and it won't work--I tried using two or three different brand new ones from the same pack.

I searched around and found an unused one that is identical other than the fact that it can only record at 8x...Any ideas what this problem might be?

Thanks
Kyle
