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???

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