Trying to burn for the first time and using CD Burner XP Pro and keep getting an error message saying no media inserted in the drive, please insert a recordable media and try again. I have inserted a dvd -R disc and this message keeps coming up, therefore I cannot burn, can anyone help me, thanks?

A CD burner won't burn a DVD. You need a DVD burner.

Thanks! I was about to try ImgBurn, would you recommend this? I have downloaded a film from Limewire and cannot seem to tsfr it and am now obsessed! Do I need to convert the film 1st before downloading?

Most definitely use Imgburn and you need to convert it after you download it.

Thanks for that. I have downloaded it from Limewire- I am now trying to convert it using Avi2dvd, which I think I am doing right, then plan to use Imgburn to burn onto disc...am I on the right track?

I have tried to burn using Imgburn but keep getting a message saying Device Not Ready ( Medium not present)- yet I have a black DVD -R disc in my drive, brand new. Any help appreciated.
