If you suspect it's not working properly, take it in to a Dell store or get a local tech to take a look at it for you. A tech could go in online, but that's time consuming and most don't want the responsibility due to the owner blaming them if something happens or goes wrong in the future.
OK, some success this morning. I was able to copy one small dvd to a large dvd via Nero copy disc to disc. I switched it from 16x to 8x and it burned fine. I even put the large dvd in my dvd player and it worked fine - video, sound -everything. But, it will not allow me to add more to the large dvd.......I cannot find any settings anywhere, Nero help says I can add to a disc but it doesn't tell me how. Any thoughts????
You need to go to the nero website and get the guides on how to use the software and read them. There's compilations that leave a disc open and there are burns that finalize the disc. It's difficult to explain and there are manuals that do a better job than I can. Nero Express and the Nero Burning ROM guides are what you need to check out first.
Well, no luck with the Nero manual. I even called tech support at 1.29/minmute and they told me to unistall and reinstall which I did 4x and the option to make a multi session disc still does nto appear. I even uninstalled Sonic & Vegas so they were no conflicts. This is sooooo unannoying. I would gladly call someone if they could walk me thru something I may be missing...........
I am trying to help my dad do the same thing, but while reading your thread, I got the feeling you want to continue to add, if you try writing to a DVD Rw will that accomplish what you are trying to do? As the small ones can be either DVD R or DVD RW, but you can add to the large DVD RW and not finalize until you are finished. Just my thoughts while reading your delimmas.
OK, I have spent a few weeks (really!) trying to copy my small dvd's from my camcorder onto a large dvd. I have 2 drives so I figured it would be a piece of cake. Had no luck - posted many messages, contacted support for all the software companies..just chased my tail. FINALLY, I ran across a dvd-guides.com which really explained how to copy videos onto a multisession dvd. I did the download for dvd decrypter & dvd shrink. I followed all the isntructions. I copied 3 small dvds onto one large dvd. I put it in my dvd player & it PLAYED!! WITH SOUND!! I thought I was home free....................suddenly, the sound was still playing but the movie was frozen in one spot...what has gone wrong?? I took the dvd out, cleaned it and it still does it. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM NOW????? ************ Well, it has been determined it is probably a disk error. I found additional helpful websites and found some Taiyo Made in Japan DVD-R to buy and once I get them I will try again & I pray I am home free. I am consolidating family videos and fear them getting erased that is why I am using DVD-R instead of RW. http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm Great helpful website! DVD-Guides.com Another great website! SupermediaStore.com Website has great reputation & sells made in Japan DVD-R!
