Hello
Please can you help me.  I am having problems with burning my DVD’s. I have two movies that I want to put onto one DVD. They consist of photos and some video clips. I use DVD+R 4.7gb +16X and DVD +RW 4x certified disks. I managed to record it onto the RW DVD somehow or other. I tried to make it 16:9 ratio and used a menu from that selection and then tried with 4:3 ration using firstly the same menu from the 16:9 and again with a new menu from the 4:3 selection. To encode it takes about half an hour and up to two hours in total to “writing lead out and closing disc”. The burner I have and use is HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GUAON which gives me a 4x burning speed. I seem to have another burner called “Image Recorder” but have not used that one and that seems to have a 1x burning speed. When I checked the SMARTRENDER INFO after the error came up it said that it was on 16:9 ratio even though I had changed it to 4:3 ratio and it also said the Drive was not ready. On the DVD I see that it did burn the first movie. What am I doing wrong.
I bought a new laptop computer – Acer Aspire - which I am using but that should cope with the movie making as I spoke to them before buying it.
