My computer is marked with DVD+RW DL
it also is marked with DVD MULTI RECORDER
I have made videos and copied them on to disk, but the disk will only play on my computer and not in my home dvd player, i have the same problem when i copy music, it will only play on my computer and in nothing else....
also when i go to burn a dvd, with windows DVD maker I cant find any DVD burner in the drop down list....
Basically do i even have a DVD burner on this computer...?
Its all very confusing to me.
can someone explain why it says DVD multi recorder on the side if it wont burn a DVD for me...
Is there a way to burn a DVD with the hardware I have or do I have to go and buy a separate DVD burner???
Am I using the wrong type of disk to record onto??
why is there no DVD burner in the drop down list on windows DVD maker, if I do infact have the right hardware already...maybe someone can explain that to me???
Where am I going wrong here??
