Thanks for taking the time to read my post. Following is my equipment profile:

DVD Stand alone player: Sanyo DWM-395

DVD+R/+RW drive: Lite-On LDW-851S

CD+RW drive: Lite-On CD-ReWriter 52x32x52x ATAPI/E-IDE interface

Motherboard: ASUS A7N266-VM

Processor: AMD Athlon XP2000+ 1.67 Ghz

RAM: 256MB

Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar 20GB

FireWire/1394 Card: Adaptec FireConnect 4300 3 ports PCI card Sonic MyDVD version 4.5.2 video authoring software included

Digital Camcorder: JVC GR-D30

Now to my dilemma. When I try to burn video I’ve captured using Sonic MyDVD, it keeps giving me the error: “Wrong media type. Please insert a recordable CD.”. I was trying to make what I thought would be a DVD disk so I kept feeding it DVD+R disks to see if it would record the bit of video that I’d captured from my digital camcorder. I thought the software had to be mistaken, but, eventually I inserted a CD-R and it took off burning (imagine that  ), however, when I put it in my Sanyo stand-alone it didn’t recognize it as a disk.

Anyone know if I can make a true DVD disk with Sonic MyDVD, or what I did wrong?

Thanks for your input, Randy
PS: I’m just now learning about VCD and other formats, I’m definitely a newbie to this area.
