I have been trying to burn dvd discs for about 2 months now and it hasn't worked for me in the least. I thought my HDD was too full so I went out and bought a new one. Then the programs I had weren't good enough so I acquired the right ones. Now all I get is that dreaded "illegal disc" message and I still don't get it. If someone could help, it would be fantastic!
