Hi, Im new and confused.... please help.....i'm trying to burn 2 movies that i D/L frm uTorrent.

I installed DVD FLICK yesterday and its now been running over 20 HRS!!! It seems to have stopped at finalizing - Burning disc, however the IMGBURN interface appeared and at the bottom of the screen instead of saying 'READY' , it says Device Not Ready (No Reference Position Found)!

You need to buy a DVD burner, your drive can only 'read' DVDs.

It's hardware.

 

Basically you'll end up taking your drive out of the machine and plugging a new one in - unless you've got a laptop of course in which case you'll just buy an external (USB) burner.
