I was trying to burn a data disc with Nero of several episodes of the Simpsons that I found on TorrentSpy. The videos work perfectly on my hard drive, but for some reason once I burn them to a disc, I cannot get Windows to read them from the disc. I am using Sony DVD+R discs and Nero SmartStart version 6.6.0.12. I've done this a hundred times before and never had any problems. Does anyone have any idea what's happening or how to fix it?

Have you downloaded a Trojen or Virus? Would not be suprised.

is the disk being recognized by Windows and can't open the files up? or are you trying to use a program and play the files? what Nero program did you use to burn the disk?

It's not a virus. I ran Norton 2007 and it found nothing. Windows is recognizing the disc, but not able to open the files on it. When I click on them, it just freezes up Windows. I'm not able to open them on my DivX DVD player either.

Have you tried a straight drag and drop in My Computer, and then letting Windows burn the disk?

I haven't tried that. I didn't think Windows worked with DVD+R, only CDs. If it will, I'll try it.

Could be a video codec problem. What program played them from the hrd drive. The program playing them from disk might not be accessing the same set of codecs and just hangs.
