Thank you for your response Dave; I tried the DVD I wanted to make again,
there was that error again, like you said; I re-inserted the disk and again
chose to burn. Same error.
That is very interesting you had trouble with MPG files, I have none. I have
trouble with WMV files, you have none.
I wonder what is going on?
