    This may sound stupid but...
    I have got the above dvd writer. I bought some DVD-R (the ones I was told to use) and I am trying to burn a file (MPEG2) using nero. When I list the Recorder Devices it finds it but when I go to record I get an error message saying

    The complication can only be written on a CD-R/RW.

    I thought that was what I had.


    Is DVD-R and DVD-RAM the same thing.

    Yeah, sounds pretty stupid.

    DVD-R is not the same as CD-R.

    If you are trying to write a VCD or SVCD you must use CD-R discs, not DVD-R/RAM.
    I don't have a bad attitude...
