DVD isn't detected by the application.

Question

I am trying to burn a video to a disk. When I open PowerCinema, it tells me that the burner can't be found. I have a DVD burner on my computer and I have used it before with this program. Help me, please. I have an eMachines desktop with Windows Vista.

Answer 1

There haven't been any reports related to this issue. However, I recommend removing the DVD through the Device Manager. Go to Start > Run > devmgmt.msc. Expand DVD/CD-ROm devices. Right click the DVD and select Uninstall without removing software. Make sure the software is closed at this time. Reboot the computer, and then wait for the DVD to be installed again. Start the software and the device should be available for usage.

Warning: Your computer needs to be connected to the Internet at all times for this to work. The Internet is required to re-install the driver for the DVD.

Answer 2

Id go for the Sothink DvD Burner..Really easy to add video and click burn.In the editing part of the program you can name your movie and you have a choice of around 15 types of thumbnail pics that show when you first put the DvD into the machine after you have burned it.I pick The Oscar themed pic which is pretty cool..Red curtains with a gold oscar statue next to a screen which has your video on the screen..Click play on your DvD Player and the movie plays..Also you have the option of changing the Tv System from NTC to PAL..PAL is what most DvD players in the U.K recognise..It has a simple interface but does a lot..Takes around 30-45 mins to burn a feature length movie which is quicker than most burners..Used to use Free studio but its now more complicated plus my anti-virus flags it so since last year SoThink Burner is what i use and found it really good.
