Hi Prasanna,

When you insert a writable DVD media into Windows Vista, the autoplay dialog should appear and prompt you for the volume label immediately. (this is on a clean install w/o any other writing apps -- nero not required!) You should be able to just drag and drop the files after the initial formatting that this prompt results in. This allows you to write to CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD+R, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM (maybe others too, I don't have the full list in front of me). You can also choose the "advanced" option during the volume label prompt to choose to use IMAPIv2 in the shell; this results in discs that are more interoperable with consumer electronic devices. Windows Media Player and DVD Maker also use IMAPIv2 to create discs, if you want to make video or audio discs.

For the ability to burn ISO images, that is also supported by our APIs in Windows Vista, but Microsoft did not finalize the code in time for the RTM release. Therefore, that feature was cut (against our team's strong objections). There is at least one free program to burn ISO images in Windows Vista available:

ISO Recorder v3

I hope this helps,

thanx, i will be try it

I'm having a different issue trying to burn DVDs. I get the following error: Windows was unable to complete the format. when trying to use a DVD+R. CDs work just fine, but this error comes up every time with DVDs. I have a 1 year old Plextor PX-716AL drive that burns DVDs fine in XP (with additional software of course). I have contacted Plextor support and they said that this drive should work in Vista.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hi Naveen,

Are you using the default (live file system), or choosing the advanced options (mastered image)?

If the former (live UDF), then I'll re-direct this question to the file system team.

If the latter (IMAPIv2), then we'll have to investigate more.


Thanks,

Just installed the Resource Kit Tools for Windows Server 2003. Successfully used DVDBURN.exe to burn a DVD from an .iso file. The resource kit tool installation throws some compatibility warnings during the install but the dvdburn program works like a champ. Using a Plextor PX-716UF external via USB 2.0 on a ThinkPad Z60M, Vista Ultimate RTM, DVD+RW media.

You can use magiciso to burn iso file to dvd. It can work properly.

MagicISO - Burn ISO, BIN, NRG

I am having the same problem with vista 32-bit ultimate and my old LG 2x burner. I was burning just fine last week in Linux, and now it fails with a similar reason (can't remember the exact text). It fails when I try to burn live filesystems, mastered filesystems, or dvd video from Win DVD Maker. Oddly enough, CDs still burn fine.

Any help would be appreciated. I am willing to buy a new drive if I have to, but am worried that it may have the same problem (just be faster).

Thanks,

When using Windows DVD Maker. The encoding seems to work, then the disk pops out and i get an error.

Cannot create the DVD
The owner SID on a per-user subscrption doesn't exist.

I can format and burn data DVD's, but Windows DVD Maker is a no go. I also noticed that the latest version of Nero has about the same problem. I don't get the error message, but Nero goes off into lala land and never finishes.

I have a Dell XPS 400 with HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GWA4164B ATA Device. The driver provider is Oak Technology v 3.1.21.1103. I have the latest CD flash update available from Dell.

I have tried dvd-r dvd+r, different brands... no dice. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If i can't figure out how to get video to the DVD, I'm going to have to fall back to MCE2005.

Thanks.

hi

i was and still hoping that windows would release a patch, so far no news. No replies with a solution to the problem. Did you manage to get some help???

cheers

Wow, because of the odd nature of the problem, I thought I was alone. Apparently I was wrong. Same thing here, I upgraded to Windows Vista and have not been able to burn a DVD since. About 99% done, and than I get the error message, and the disc ejects. Me system is fairly new, and my DVD drive was working just fine using WinXP.

Has anyone found a resolution to this problem? I'm using LG 16X DVD+R in a Lite-on LH-20A1H running Vista Home Premium. I've wasted several DVD's before turning to google for help.

The following applies if Nero has altered the registry, and the drives appear in device manager with a yellow exclamation mark:

Down the bottom in section 8 is a registry patch that brings the drives back. I am told it works.
