Thanks very much spinningwheel for a very prompt reply. I am sure I will be ok now.

Sorry to do this to you guys BUT I had a problem burning DVD's a year or so go and now , not having burnt DVD's since then, I am having the same problem. I uploaded a query on this thread and I got an answer. I have been trying to trace the query by going through each page on a daily basis but I am now cross eyed. Please help me trace this previous query of mine. Kind Regards.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was a total . To LUK and others that assisted me with this problem I thank you most sincerely. I have learnt such a lot from following your advice piece by piece. As they say in the classics " How do you eat an elephant" Answer " Piece by piece" The mistake has absolutely nothing to do with ImgBurn. It was my stupidity in that I downloaded from the file of the DVD instead of opening it and then choosing the VIDEO_TS file to download from. Once again - THANKS very very much for your patience and understanding. KInd Regards, Richard

I attach a screen snapshot of the root folders of video 1 (the one that I cannot get to play on my DVD player) and of video 4 ( the one that I will try and play on my DVD player as soon as my wife has finished watching the news. Snapshot of video 1 root folder: Snapshot of video 4 root folder:

AHA - I think you have hit the nail on the head. I notice that of the 13 videos I put on my harddrive all except one, number 4, have 'LG_COMBI_RECORDER' as the folder name. The one has VIDEO_TS as the folders name. I will now try and burn this one to a DVD and see if it plays on my DVD player. It seems as if I am doing something wrong in downloading the original DVD's to my hard drive. Hmmmm, now what can that be. I will investigate further tomorrow night. LUK, thanks very much for all your help.

I hope this comes out.

Thank you very much this advice. I must admit that I am not very good at reading guides etc.. The "Videos Library" is a file where I store all my videos. There is also a "Pictures LIbrary" where I store all my photos and documents etc.. When I click on the start button there is a "Pictures" file. If I click on this I get 4 libraries - Documents, Music, Pictures and Videos. Its getting a bit late here so I will try what you tell me to do tomorrow night. Thanks once again for all your help. Kind Regards, Richard.

Yahoo - it worked. I hope the above is what you needed.

Thanks very much once again. Your patience with me is really appreciated. Lets see if I have got it right?

Thank you very much for the above. I now have a snapshot of the video files but when I select copy and then open ImgBurn paste is low lighted. I am sorry to have to ask so many questions but with your help I am learning all the time. How do I get the snapshot onto this page? KInd Regards, Richard

How do I take a screen shot?

A stupid question. Do I have to intialise the disc on my DVD player before placing it in my laptop to burn a movie to it?

Hi there, Here is the log for the latest version. My DVD player still states that it is an "Unknown Disc" . I am using Verbatim DVD+R discs as I have always used these discs when I copied movies before and they worked like a charm. I 13:40:49 ImgBurn Version 2.5.7.0 started!

This is now strange. I have the hard copies of the movies on my hardrive in case of problems. I have just copied a hard copy DVD to a blank DVD using two of my DVD players/recorders and it has come out fine. BUT, it is ever so slow as if it is a 2 hour movie it takes 2 hours to copy and I have 26 hours of movies to copy. Image Burn is a real time saver so if anyone can assist me please do so. Kind Regards, Richard

Good evening. To start with please bear in mind that I totally technologically disadvantaged. I have used Imageburn sucessfully on a number of occasions for burning home movies from my hard drive to a DVD but tonight I have tried 5 times without success. I have a number of home movies on my hard drive that I the copy onto a DVD+R disc. Tonight I go through the whole process of burning and verifying and get the "Operation sucessfully completed" sign with a pleasant jingle. This is the reason why I cannot attach the log as the completed sign and jingle come up as soon as the process is completed. When I go to my DVD player to play the disc I get the message "Unknown Disc - please check disc again". On my other DVD player I get the message "NO Disc" and it ejects the disc. Please can you help. Richard
