Inspiron 6000 DVD burning problems?
Please help. I have an Inspiron 6000 with a 8x CD/DVD burner (DVD+/-RW) with double-layer write capability. I downloaded a dvd, I use RecordNow MyDVD, I selected it from my folder, it built the movie, then I insert a disc and click burn. I get the please insert disc error: or sometimes please insert media? I tried using the DVD-R recordable CD 4.7GB, but it stated it was too small for the movie. I now used (the only ones I have found anywhere) DVD+R DL double layer disc 8.5GB 2.4x and still get the same errors. I looked through alot of notes and so far none are exactly related to mine. Any one have this problem and know how to fix it? I tried changing write speed etc in the MyDVD program but it only has one selection 3x and it will not let you type anything. Thank you anyone, who has some free time, I am somewhat new to the burning thing.
Sonic MyDVD 5.3 LE and RecordNow 7.3 LE...Dell advised to do a PC restore and start over, then I will loose the program and all the time/dvd I downloaded, just to be able to get them on a disk, well then I will not have anything to be able to get on a disk and I wonder if this will fix my problem?
Single layer media, advised project too large, the movies are like 1:30 not over 120 min, so I got the double layer disc and they fit, but then it says please insert disc in drive D:.
Hey Roxy,
Don't deinstall everythign as Dell as stated just yet. You may have a way around this.
1) There could be a packet writing conflict which would Sonic's DLA. It shows up in your Task Manager (CTRL-ALT-DELETE) as tfswctrl.exe. Stop the process. It will start up everytime, so if you want it gone at start up with out deinstalling it, go to Start-->Run--> Type in "msconfig". Click the "Start Up" tab, and uncheck "tfswctrl", click "Apply" and restart. See if you can burn now.
2) Since this is an LE version of MyDVD, dual layer may not have been included in the software package that Dell bought from Sonic. You may want to contact Sonic support instead to be sure you actually have the ability...
3) Use MyDVD and build the session as a folder to your hard drive (http://cs.sonic.com/scripts/texcel/swise/ksearch.dll?DisplayDetail?12&0&0&1&12&281&12&build%20hard%20) and then burn the project as data in RecordNow. This will actually make the duplication process easier downt he road as all of your file will be transcoded for you.

My first question: Do you have the Sony or NEC drive?
