burn sucessful but there is nothing on DVD

[c2thed]

I am a noobie. Sorry. I am getting messages that the burn has been sucessful(Operation sucessfully completed) Then I try to use the disk in the dvd player and it does not work. Then I put this same disk back into my computer and it says that the disk is empty. Why would IMGburn tell me that Operation sucessfully completed and when I verify the dvd it is empty?

 

Here is my system info:

Optical Drive: DVD-ROM/DVD+/-RW with Double Layer Support (4X DVD+R DL, 4X DVD-R DL, 6X DVD-RW, 8X DVD+RW, 8X DVD+R, 8X DVD-R, 8X DVD-ROM, 24X CD-RW, 24X CD-R, 24X CD-ROM)

 

I have tried 2 different types of dvd-r one is a memorex dvd-r and the other is a verbatim dvd-r 16x. both had the same result.

I am running Vista basic and I am using a lap top.
