LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 It doesn't look like that drive should have a problem burning DVDs. What message is displayed in the status bar when you put a blank dvd in and switch to Write mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Eject the disc and reinsert. Keep an eye on that status bar message as you do so. Does it take quite a while before it finally settles on 'medium not present' ? Do you hear the drive trying to initialise the disc? You'll either have to try some different DVDs or try a different drive with your disc. Can the drive read proper commercial (pressed) DVD Video discs ok?
