burning dvds

I have never burn dvds.

I created an slide show in Roxio Easy Media Center, and when I tried
to burn it the program tolde me the DVD as incompatible.

My laptop is an XP M24 mg system memory
HP Pavillion
M24 Mg system memory

HP 1.61 HGZ 992 MG ram

And the DVDR I am trying to burn are Memorex Printable DVD-R.

I am familiar with CD burning... and these type of CDs are pretty
universal... I just learned the DVD world is different. Which DVD-R is
good for my laptop.

Thanks, and sorry for being such a newby...

So which is the amount of system memory you have 992 megs or 24 megs?
either is an odd number, where are you getting these numbers?
ensure the type of DVD burner you have, is compatable with the media your
using.

First we need to know if you have a DVD burner installed.

Unlike cds dvd's come in several formats dvd-r is just one of them, does
your burner support - media? you may need +.R

Why ask HERE?

1. What DVDs your laptop will work with we don't know. We don't know
what your drive supports.

2. XP can't do ANYTHING with XP.

Ask elsewhere

Like he said, XP has nothing to do with it. Chances are you only have a CD
burner.

To burn a DVD you need a DVD burner. Then you have to learn the differences
between DVD-R and DVD+R among other thingss.

To add to the confusion you also need to be aware that there are combo
drives which are CD-R/W burners and DVD readers but cannot burn DVDs. If you
have Nero installed there is a tool called NeroInfo Tool that will tell you
all about your drive. If you don't have Nero installed you can get the
NeroInfo Tool free from here http://www.snapfiles.com/get/neroinfo.html

What a brilliant statement (i.e., "XP can't do ANYTHING with XP"). Just
absolutely brilliant.

Yes, I know. IT was supposed to say:

2. XP can't do ANYTHING with DVDs.
