Hi Guys... would appreciate if anyone can point out what I might be doing wrong...
I am trying to make a copy of a DVD I own.
I have no trouble ripping it - but when I go to burn I get a message saying please insert disc or "no medium" - even though I have placed a disc in the DVD Rom.

I have tried DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD+R... Ive tried DVD Shrink and Nero and are still getting the same problem...

What am I doing wrong?

You need a DVD Burner (Writer) to burn! ROM = read only

Yes, you need to make sure that your DVD drive is a burner rather than just a reader. Is it? If so what is the model and firmware version?

Post back.

Sometimes outdated firmware will not allow the DVD drive to recognize the media that you are using.
