hi everyone. i'm trying to burn some AVI files to dvd and at the last minute, Nero gives me an 'insert writeable disc' error. i thought it might be the brand of dvd-rs that i'm using or maybe that i needed to encode the AVI files to something else, but i really have no idea. i apologise if it's a stupid and/or obvious problem that i have as well.

thank you for your help!
