I would first try some different media.

BTW, filling out your computer profile helps immensely. We don't even know what OS or burner you are talking about. Also what version of NERO? And what media? You won't get much help without all that info.

i'm running XP Pro with sp2 and i'm using a sony DVD RW DW-D22A also Nero 6.6.0.6, and what do you mean is in media?

Have you used the same brand of DVD discs (Media) to burn successfully before? If not, the brand of DVD or type of disc may be your problem. If you go to 'DVD Writers' to the left and type in 'Sony DW-D22A' you will see comments about your DVD writer that may help.

The sounds you hear from your player is the player unsuccessfully trying to read the disc and find the tracks. Not good for the player. Just eject it.

Also, go the the NERO site and see if they have any recommendations for that writer.

You might pick up a couple of compatible RW DVDs and use them to sort out the problems. It could be the DVD, WinAVI, NERO, or the Sony writer that is causing the problem. You have to find the best combination for your particular setup. The RWs will save you some time and money on wasted discs.

i've been using the Maxwell brand dvds + and - Rs.....this is nuts, i mean i have no clue what brand dvds to try, since maxwells aren't working out that great.

[tmac2085]

this will take me forever to try and find the best combination, and now when i try to play a movie file with windows media player there is nothing but sound? think i'm gonna go crazy....

Before you burn the files to Nero, try watching them using your software player (Media player or PowerDVD...) to determine if you have the correct DVD file format. If this works, then try burning at a lower speed will not using your computer for anything else. And Maxwell makes coffee, I am sure you meant maxell.

i'll give it another try....but howcome all of a sudden i cannot play my movie files like mpeg, avis, etc on any of my media players including powerdvd?

[winifreid]

Play from what? Files on your HD or on a DVD disk in your drive? In other words, is it possible that your DVD drive is a problem or do you have a software problem?

[tmac2085]

files from my hard drive i cannot play i can hear it but not see the picture.

[winifreid]

I am not real familair with a problem like this, but I suggest you try re-installing powerDVD witch I think will re-install any mpeg decoder.

[tmac2085]

uninstalled it and it wont work, but i do notice when windows media player pops up it says "error downloading codec", and i also notice that i looked at all my movie properties (from my HD) and all the ones that wont play right are "MPEG Layer-3" and i played a regular MPEG and it played fine...???

[winifreid]

PowerDVD will not play even after you re-install? Have you recently installed a codec pack like ffmpeg?

[tmac2085]

well i uninstalled it and tried on windows media player and it didnt work, and installed it back but i get the sound and i visualization instead of the actual picture.

[tmac2085]

howcome i get visualizations when i play something other than a mpeg? i need help

for visulisations,thats what media player does,try the now playing section of it,and go into media players settings and stop it from downloading codes,simple really when you look into the options.
sounds like your confusing mp3 files with video files
if windows media player is associated with a video or music file,then a wmp icon will be there
stop using windows media player and concentrate on power dvd.
uninstall it,delete the folder for it,then restart and reinstall.
sounds like a codec problem,have you installed any codecs lately??
also for converting to dvd,try vsodivxtodvd,from www.vso-software.fr its free,and it works.
you dont have to do the whole movie,just let it do 5%say,and then check it out in one of the pc players,like powerdvd if its working.
by the way,windows media player is shite,and winavi,is mediocre at best.

[tmac2085]

what do i need to uninstall that has all those codecs?
