TSGL: DVD burner

[Engineman1 at aol.com]

Try this:
In "my computer" right - click on the cd/dvd burner icon. Click on  
"properties" then the "recording" tab. put a check in the box marked "enable cd  
recording on this drive". If it's already checked you'll have to try other  
suggestions.

Is it  possible the Region Control(Zone) Setting is wrong? You may not be 
able to  change it back again easily, depending how many changes have already 
been  made. 
Nero Toolkit - Nero Info Tool - will tell you its  setting.

Hi there everybody!

I have  been trying like mad to get a DVD burnt last week. Tried Windows  XP's
burning facility and my Nero 8 Essentials and started to wonder why  there
was no point given to choose burning a DVD. In the end then I thought  the
drive might be no DVD-burner after all, though I thought the fact that  it
was a CD-burner and DVD player for sure, would mean, they would not  produce
something strange like that, so checked the box it came with  several years
ago and yes, it definitely is a DVD burner: Pioneer DVD-RW  DVR-105.

But it seems the device has forgotten it is meant to burn  DVD's, it does
read all the DVD's I have here (which are not that many  different ones) as
well as all CD's and it does burn CD's. I checked online  and found it to be
known for problems but all the people mentioned problems  with burning no
CD's at all and not mentioned the DVD-part at all. By the  way, it is the
first time I ever wanted to burn a DVD with it, so I don't  know, if it ever
was able to do it.

I really would like to know,  whether it is possible that the power supply
problem I had before (without  recognizing it for a rather long time) did
somehow affect/damage only the  DVD-burning part of the drive? Or can the
laser that burns DVD's be the  problem when it does burn CD's all correct? Or 
can a DVD that it does not  recognize, make the possibilities of burning 
DVD's not show up at all? I  went and got a single sided DVD-RW 1x-4x but it 
might be too new/good or  the "wrong" make then after all?

By the way, a firmware update of the  drive was available and I have
installed that, so should all be installed  correctly, as I learnt no drivers
are necessary for such a  drive.

Have a nice  day
Heidi
