Start by UNINSTALLING that crap CD burning software that came with your HP. Then get the latest drives for your drive.

Get the latest version of nero. And try again.

If your drive does not support overburning, then ATTEMPTING to overburn will screw up you burner. If you are noot sure, dont try it. I use 700MB/80Min CD-R's made by IMATION or MEMOREX. (cheapies!!) And they ork fine. I can put a little over an hour of SVCD video encoded at 1400-1500 Bit rate onto 1 CD.

Look to the left, and search the forum for more help.

Are those files vcds? Why are you trying to butn dat files?
Just curious, I had to make my movies into avi files or mpegs to burn in Nero.

Just use nero to burn the MPEG's.

Pick either VCD or SCVD (depending on how its encoded!)
