Hi. I'm new to all this DVD burning. Give me a cd to burn and I'll do it no problem but a DVD seems far more complicated.

Anyway I recently bought an HP usb DVD burner and I downloaded the CovertXtoDVD software after I found a walkthrough on one of your reviews here. My input file type is avi. So far I have one DVD under my belt but now I keep seeing this error message whenever I try to burn:

The media ID of my first DVD was MCC-003-00 which was DVD+R. Now as you can see I have CMC MAG which - after browsing through yours and other forums - seems to be of poor quality. I've also tried burning without SAO mode.

I'd appreciate any advice on how so solve this problem wether it's the media to blame or something I'm completely unaware of

Thanks for your help!

Those are bad quality media.

Try x4.0 on them since your burner doesn't support x2.0 on those.

Get some 1st class quality like Verbatims, Taiyo Yuden.
