Device Not Ready (Medium Not Present)

[loerider]

Just installed everything and I was getting ready to burn a copy and this is the message I get when I put my blank CD in. What do I have to do to make this work? Thanks in advance for all that can help.

Please post a copy of the ImgBurn log (bottom window of the Gui) and also the information that appears in the top right window when the program is open and you have a disc in the drive. Also please confirm exactly what you are trying to do, e.g. burn an .iso etc

 

Without the above as a minimum we can only guess what's wrong

Sounds like the drive does not like whatever blanks you are using. But do post a log please.

That's all of it? Don't suppose you've considered upgrading to version 2.1???

Also you only have a CD-RW and a DVD-ROM and neither will burn blank DVDs; you did say above that you were inserting a CD but if you actually meant a blank DVD you will need to change the drive for a DVD?RW burner.

I think buying a DVD burner would be a good idea also.

[loerider]

can you burn a dvd on to a cd using my cd burner?

[blutach]

No.

if the movie is like 12 minutes long

I suppose you could compress it with X264 (MPEG4) and do it that way. For yet another incredibly inferior offering by this company, you could (but should not) use Ner0 Recode.
