I got a DVD burner and I'm having problems with it. It
burns a CD normally, plays DVD videos and all but when I
put a blank DVD in it it doesn't do anything, I mean, It
tries to read it but finally stops and when I try to burn
files or video on a blank dvd the program keeps saying to
inserv a blank dvd in the drive but the dvd is already
there! Here are my Burner and Blank DVDs Specs:
