Re: Issue burning to dvd - from computer

XP cannot burn to a DVD by itself. If your PC came with a DVD burner, the
PC manufacturer probably installed Nero or Roxio on it... possibly a lite
version.

If you purchased the burner and installed it yourself, check the box. There
should again be a software CD in it with a lite version of the burning
software.

If you need to buy something.... www.roxio.com, www.nero.com. Both will
burn data and video DVDs. If all you need is to burn video DVDs, then also
consider www.gocyberlink.com and www.intervideo.com.

Ok, I'm a little bit clueless on this. I don't know anything about needing
a
third party software. Can you give me a little info on them? Is it
something
I need to go out and buy from an electronic store, or can I download from
programs in the computer, etc.? Thanks for your help!

Which third party software are you using to create the DVD? Remember XP
has
no native DVD burning or decoding software. You need something like
Roxio,
Nero, PowerDirector, WinDVD Creator etc.

I am trying to burn a dvd from a downloaded movie. At first I was having
problems even viewing the movie on my computer after download- I could
only
pick up the audio. But, after reading some posts, I downloaded codec
XVID
MPEG-4. Now I am able to watch the "video" on my computer as well as
receive
audio. Assuming everthing was in order, I tried to burn the movie to a
dvd
(currently have DVD-R)using Windows Media Player. When I listed the
movie
from the "Library" and clicked on it to burn, an error message popped
up.
Here are the stats:
1. Error code: COOD1199
2. Error text: Cannot Play the File, An Error Occurred
3. About Windows Media Player: 10.00.00.3990
4. Operating System Version:
Microsoft Windows XP
Media Center Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 2
I am frustrated as I have been working on this for awhile. (I am also
having
problems burning my home-movies from camcorder to dvd, but am hoping it
will
resolve with the same solution as this dvd-burn problem I am having).
Since
everything seems to be working right on computer, I don't know why I
can't
transfer to dvd.
Are there any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!
