CD/DVD Writer won't burn

Le King

When using Convert X to DVD, it won't let me burn a disc. I keep getting the generic problem message as I just start to burn the DVD after converting it. This is really annoying and quite urgent as I need the material ASAP for college.

I ran Driver Genius and it reported back saying it could find no updates for the device so I am completely stumped as to what to do.

Here is the VSO Inspector Report:

If it helps at the time of the report I had a disk inserted, the computer read the disc. I tried discs I have used before which are all the same make and they worked. It just seems that Convert X won't burn for me :mad:

Any help is appreciated.

TIA

Yeah, thanks for replying. I tried everything else. Same issue.

And it's not the files either because I tried older recorded stuff too and it didn't work.

I haven't burned anything on this laptop in about a year or so since I got it basically if that makes any difference.

You only have the one CD/DVD Writer connected to your laptop yes? If not then it could be to do with master/slave setting.
