Newbie question about burning vcd for dvd player

[cavalor]

Ok i have succesfully burned a test vcd and yea it rocks better quality then vhs. K im using a kodak cdrw disk. And im trying to format it but it wont let me format the disk soo i can put an actual movie on it not a test one.

Can anyone help me out?.
ive got a hewlett packard cd writer the 800 series
and i used nero to burn and trying to use nero to format.

Its like the cd is write protected.

and it is a rewritable soo is there anyway to fix it or am i screwed?.

I never tried erasing a cdrw in Nero but hopefully one of these method might help!


Roxio EZCD Creator: from menu ... CD > Erase Disc
(or from the DirectCD options)

CloneCD: use the ERASE CDRW button

Windows XP:

I remember using a small freeware a long, long time ago.... can't remember it now sorry.
