    Ok peeps i hope u can help....having some trouble getting a video file to write to a cd.

    When i do try i either get the msg, "medium write error" or Nero burning rom goes through the whole process, tell me that it is complete (after about 45 minutes) only for me to find that the cd is still blank.

    Any ideas?? All i can think of is anti piracy software contained within the file but dont think this should apply to the video in question.

    Thanx in advance and hope u guys can help me out like you have done in the past.

  2. Hi Stuntcock,

    Your not going to like this - I had a similar experiance using a new Dell with a NEC DVD writer. After many attempts I reinstalled the OS [xph] applied patches & updates and all was well.

    In my case ALL attempts to write looked as if they worked OK but the dics was always blank.

    IF a complete reinstall is too daunting can you test the drive in another PC? Do you have problems with all/some/just-this-one attempts to write?

    its strange...it works fine with all other files....im always making cd's of music and to transport large files to other computers....but when i try and burn this file to a black cd it dont work.

    Could probably test the drive on another pc but its a lot of bother to get my old one out the closet.

    Are you trying to burn it as a dat file? The file has to be mpg1 in order for you to burn it to a vcd.
