It's not ImgBurn's job to recognise media, it's the drives.

 

So if you can't do anything when there's a DVD-R in the tray, it means your drive probably doesn't support the dye being used by that disc. Try some others.

ok thanks i will try that but the drive will reconise the disc if i have a downloaded film on it as does imgburn as it says disc not empty but with a ne disc it says medium not present tray closed

Does it recognise blank DVD-RW's?

 

Can you burn to them?

 

I'm just wondering if you even have a DVD burner or if it's just a DVD reader / CD burner.

Oh well, try some different discs then.

 

A firmware update might fix the issue too. What drive do you have?
