    Hi all, I'm very new to burning DVDs. All I want to do is convert my digital camcorder stuff to DVD, but the problem is only the really short ones will play on my DVD player, anything bigger than 2GBs won't play...the header page comes on, that's it. I used TDK and Memorex (won't buy anymore after reading forums). Any clues greatly appreciated!!!

    What programs are you using to convert your DV to DVD? Also, have you tried playing the DVDs in your computer?

    Check out the third tab above "Guides" -- bbmayo's guides highly newbie friendly and easy to use.

    Pick one and follow it to the letter.
    Hope this helps.
    Happy burning.
