aye, nero needs a DVD plugin.

Especially if you "accuired" it *wink* *wink* older versions might not have it included.

Try holattp://www.cdburnerxp.se/ works well for me ;)

Or maybe there is a genuine mistake and they packaged CD's as DVD's??? :lol:

if you don't have nero you can usually get the latest version OEM from ebuyer for about £5

Yeah im using Nero 7 Premuim

I paid 11.99 for 50 of them, from maplin (the #1 rip off retailer for computers)

but what i mean is when i put the dvd in, its like an auto-play feature in XP

Saying Blank cd what do you want todo etc, when it should be saying dvd

i tryed just going ahead and burning an .iso in Alchohol 120% and that went tits up

then in nero i did the same, and it worked, although i dont know wether thats because i changed the firmware...

So the situation as it stands at the moment to me is ''iffy''

Thanks for help guys

Dont use what the auto programs tell ya to do! :D

In nero 6 you start the program, and to burn an image is Recorder menu > burn image.

gl :D
