Why won't my PC accept my DVD+R discs when I try to burn a film?

[Anon104]

I have managed to download my film, I have DVD+R discs with 4.7GB memory. The film is currently in the AVI format and when I try to burn on either Media Player or Nero it doesn't accept my discs. What am I doing wrong?

Ken - I've tried with both + and - discs, where can i find out what DVD drive I have? Sorry I am new to all this! (it does say DVD on the draw and I have been able to burn music discs)

mayb ur computer is anti- pirating

It needs to be DVD-RW

[Alkalyne]

DVD+R is different with DVD-R

[PeterK]

Some older DVD drives were not multi standard and only accept DVD-R. Look at the spec of your writer.

Yes, your dvd-rom doesn't support dvd R+.

[Billybobjre]

Your burner only reads -R discs.

Your DVD drive might not be able to burn DVD-R or DVD-RW.
Could you specify what DVD drive you have?

To put your film on dvd you need to encode the avi file to dvd format.

You could burn the avi file to cd but it would only play on PC or the very latest dvd player with avi support.
