    I'm new to burning things to DVD so I apoligise if this is n00bish.

    Okay so i'm trying to burn some avi video files on to a DVD as data. Only Nero comes up with some error message (see picture 1)

    and I don't get this. Cause i've put in a DVD+R disk. And selected the option in the Nero Smartstart menu to burn a data DVD disk. and now it's telling me I have the wrong recorder. So, I see this checkbox that says "Use multiple recorders" and the "info" box changes to "Ok".

    So, great I can burn.... Nope, a box then comes up asking me to choose a recorder. This box however is empty and gives me no options.

    So, i'm at a loss as to how to get this data on my DVD. Any help would be apprechiated.

    Are you sure you have the ability to write DVDs? I don't think Nero will prevent you from opening the program that would allowed you to burn DVDs if you had the capibility. You might have a DVD Reader and a CD Burner Combo. They are quite common.

    Ah. I never thought of that. You might be right. Any way you can think of for me to find out for sure?

    Read on your actual Disk Drive I guess.
    Does it say 'DVD RW/R' (thats what mine says anyway) and I can burn DVDs.
    You just need to see if it says 'DVD R' or 'DVD RW'
