What movie are you trying to burn? What size is the file you are trying to burn? What is the size of disk you are using? What is the brand of disks you are using? We need more information to offer our assistance.
To add to what rtm said, also what operating system are you using. As he said the more you can explain to use the details of your process, the better equipped we are to assist.
The movie is a teletubbies one so its not that big, it goes for 87mins. Im using windows xp and the dvd is dvd-r imation ...is that enought, what else you might need to know?
The fact that it is only 87 minutes long does not necessarily mean that it will fit on a dvd-5 disk as you have. I know that some of them say 120 min. but that can be misleading as there are many variable associated with the actual size of the file. What program are you using to actually burn the video to disk? If you could post a burn log from this program it would benefit us in helping you with your problem.

Is the movie from a standalone DVD recorder from TV or is it a commercial DVD?
thanks everyone...i fix my above prob. I did use dvdfab, then went on to dvd shrink, then on to imgburn, as it was about to burn another damn message came up in imgburn
'unable to recover TOC'...what am i doing wrong?
The dvd im using is one i got from the shops, i try to put it on a spare dvd, as my little boy knows how to open the player and he plays with his dvd and scratches them...thats another frustrating topic LOL
"Unable to recover TOC means the drive cannot read the disc ( TOC = table Of Contents) . The TOC tells the drive whats on the disc and how to play it and what order basically.
If the drive is unable to read it, it means it cannot read the disc.
Options open to you are:
Update firmware and/or use better quality discs like taiyo yuden or verbatims." -- from Imgburn Support Forum
