I use two drives now, BUT sure enough when it comes time to write to the blank disc, I get a "Please insert recdordable media into drive E." I then have to try it again, which occasionally writes, OR I have to try another disc, and another and another. I use Verbatims from Office max. Life would be better if I put the movie into drive D, and then a few minutes later angles would sing and I could remove the backed up copy for my collection. But no, anything having to do with this takes being a damn expert in a hundred different things.
