DVD writing help

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

Im having loads of trouble with my DVD writer at the minute.
I have always been able to write audio files on a CD-R but recently i have been trying to burn movie files onto a DVD-RW and it will not work.
To try and find out what the problem was, i tried copying some audio files onto the DVD-RW and they wont work either.
To check if the writer was, for some reaosn, broken, i tried copying audio files to a CD-R again and it is fine.
I dont understand what the problem is.
I also recently got some software called Click n Burn pro to try and help, but when i start up the program it says that no combatible recording drives have been found on the computer!
Can anyone help me?

Also, did you not get any burning software with the drive?

Windows has no built in dvd burning compatibilty, so will not do it, this I
feel is most of your problem..
I'm not familiar with click and burn, could you supply a link for
investigations?

But click n burn is burnign software but when i start it up it says that none of my drives have been found to be recording compatable.

Click n Burn does support DVD burning.
I want to burn movies and movie files onto DVD but the only things that i am able to burn are audio files to regular CDs, even though i have a DVD burner. That is the problem.
