[cas64]

I bought a new ASUS dvd multi recorder, i tried to copy a dvd video disc thru nero and it worked. but when i tried to copy my files , big files so i have to used dvd, at the windows xplorer, copy the file and paste it to drive H (dvd writer), then write files, it says cannot write, insert a writable cd. i used dvd rw, dvd + n dvd -, but still looking for a cd. when i tried to insert a cdr, it says, space is not enough which means it was able to read a blank cdr, but cant read a blank dvd r, y is dat so.thanks

You have a LOT of reading to do if you are copying a factory pressed "movie" DVD.

Probably the packet writing software (the kind that lets you drag/drop files to a recordable media) you've got, only supports CD-R. IMO, packet writing shouldn't be used at all, since it seems to cause all kinds of trouble for "real" CD/DVD burner applications. Turn it off, write the data to the DVD "as usual" - Thru Nero it seems, in your case.

I guess English isn't your native language, but for anyone to be able to help you, try to make more intelligible sentences than that.
In short, to answer your question(?): The software you're using doesn't do packet writing (supporting dragndrop) to DVD.

You need to either use formatted DVDRW to copy and paste with explorer, or you may select make data DVD in Nero using DVD +/- R discs.
