Once I read a dvd and put in a blank one, I get the message: "Device not ready. Unable to recover TOC." What is TOC, and what does this mean? Thanks!

Have NO idea what this all means. It will write the original disk, and once again when I insert the blank disk, it reaches 100%, then ejects it. I get this I/O error when I reinsert the disk I'm trying to write to: I 01:03:01 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started!

I have a really dumb q... I thought I was back in business w/burning, b/c I was able to burn an ISO file I had saved on my computer--the disk came out fine. However, now I'm trying to burn another movie. It writes it to the HD as an ISO file, but when I try to write it to a blank disc, my problems begin. First, at 100%, it spits the dvd I'm burning out. Then it says the device is not ready. What am I supposed to do at this point? Do I put the dvd I'm burning to back in? If I do, I receive an I/O error just like Teddy's. But, once I tried putting the orginal dvd (the one I'm burning) in when it reach 100%, and did not get an I/O error--the process continued (although I'm not sure what it was doing). Either way, the dvd I thought would now contain the movie is still blank. I'm trying it again right now... Thanks for any help you can give me!

This dvd and a blank one looks exactly the same to me. When I put this disc back in the drive, the pop-up says "Blank disc," and asks me if I want to burn to the disc. I'm using Maxell DVD-R 4.7 GB, 16x, 2hr DVD's, by the way. Are they lame? I've always used these, and never had a problem with them.

Thanks, Jack. Can you recommend some sites where I can d/l these for free?

I never had problems with making copies of DVDs until just recently. I have ImgBurn, Nero and DVD Shrink installed. All three with accept and read the DVD. For instance, now, I'm trying to burn the movie "Bobby." Then it gets weird--if I try to burn (write) the ISO image (or video files) to a blank DVD-R disc, it goes through the motions, and says it has been completed. However, the DVD-R disc remains empty. I'm confused, because I'm able to read and write audio cds. The programs I normally use for watching DVD's on my laptop will not play dvd's now for some reason (Windows Media, and Intervideo). When I was able to burn DVDs in the past, these programs WERE working--I wonder if there is a correlation here? Must I have a dvd viewing device in order to burn dvds? I've tried to play the DVD-R disc on my regular dvd player, but it also says it is blank. Any suggestions??? Thanks so much in advance.
