I am not an expert but I will try to help you.

* Perhaps you need a dvd rewritable! Also make sure your burner can burn dvd movies as well and isnt just a cd burner.

* You cant use a regular blank cd for a movie…it should be fine with a dvd disc, but you cant rewrite over it. Once you burn something on it it is done.

* I would seriously get those dvd+-rw(they may be a bit more expensive but so worth it) once you dont need it anymore, you can erase it & put something else on it…now if you think it is not enough space…try to burn it as data rather then video so there is more space.

* Just make sure your reader or dvd player can read the format!!!

Answer #2

okay thanks! I’ll try all these…i think the problem is that the blank cds i have a re for pics and music only, not video

Answer #3

you need a dvd-r or a dvd+r or a dvd-rw disk.

i stick to teh dvd-r as their the original format, or disks if you like that dvds were wrote to and their teh cheapest.

what are you using to burn the film as in software?
