DVD-RW does not burn
Hi,
I recently got a new rig, 2.4 ghz duel core, 2 gigs of ram, nvidia 8800 GTS, and a PIONEER DVR-212D DVD burner.. the last one is giving me a very annoying problem. I use itunes regularly, to listen to music and on my old computer, i used it to create audio CD's, but for somereason on this vista PC i cannot burn. When i try burning in itunes i get a message that says "Disc burner or software not found...", when it try using windows media player to burn a cd, it starts, but each song that tries burning fails to burn and i end up with a cd that has empty tracks on it. When i use nero, it starts burning, but quickly fails. I recently updated to the most recent drivers for this device (version 1.21 i think), and this device should be compatible with vista. i don't know why its not. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated! thanks, pat |

Windowpane,
Take a look at the following Microsoft article for troubleshooting such problems: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929461/en-us Let us know whether you find anything useful. -- freddy "Windowpane" wrote: Hi, I recently got a new rig, 2.4 ghz duel core, 2 gigs of ram, nvidia 8800 GTS, and a PIONEER DVR-212D DVD burner.. the last one is giving me a very annoying problem.

freddy,
I followed the instructions in that link, but only found the "UpperFilters", there where no lower filters, so i deleted the upperfilters anyways, and nothing changed.. i just had to re-install itunes. I tried burning with itunes again and i got the same message "disc burner or software not found..." when i go into the advanced burning options in itunes it does not even detect the burner. still not sure why i cant burn cd's.. thanks though.. please help! pat "freddy" wrote: Windowpane, Take a look at the following Microsoft article for troubleshooting such problems: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929461/en-us Let us know whether you find anything useful. -- freddy "Windowpane" wrote: Hi, I recently got a new rig, 2.4 ghz duel core, 2 gigs of ram, nvidia 8800 GTS, and a PIONEER DVR-212D DVD burner.. the last one is giving me a very annoying problem.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated! thanks, pat In XP, were you using third party software for burning as opposed to XP's built in function? I don't think this is a driver issue as other applications on your system recognize the burner. This appears to be one of two issues. One, you don't have the latest Vista compatible version of iTunes or, more likely, this is a DRM issue. Even though you were able to do this on XP, DRM, digital rights management, is more integrated into the system on Vista. Further, as far as I know, the DRM flag on tracks downloaded from iTunes, prevents them from being recorded to other media. There are apps out there that are able to get around this. Without the right software, I don't think you'll be able to burn CDs of iTunes tracks.

DVD-RW does not burn
er.. My old Pc was running XP and it worked fine on that computer, this is a
new computer and the first OS on it is vista (this one), and im not burning itunes music, im burning un-protected/burnable mp3's.. I just recently updated my itunes the most recent vista compatible version. still not working though.. Deamon tools is another program i have running, but it is vista compatible, and never stopped me before. virtual drives shouldnt be an issue (i have two), are there any issues with burning and virtual drives? thanks, pat "Michael Solomon" wrote: "Windowpane" wrote in message ... freddy, I followed the instructions in that link, but only found the "UpperFilters", there where no lower filters, so i deleted the upperfilters anyways, and nothing changed.. i just had to re-install itunes.

I saw a reference to iTunes and thought you were referring to iTunes protected tracks. I never said or implied you couldn't do it on your old PC, in fact, I said quite the opposite. -- Michael Solomon Backup is a PC user's best friend DTS-L.Org: http://www.dts-l.org/ |

Windowpane,
I have two suggestions: 1. Vista records error conditions. Take a look in the error report, Start All Programs Maintenance Problem Reports and Solutions. Peruse the report and note any error conditions contained therein. Focus on any recommendations for action to take to correct any errors. 2. I saw the following recommendation on another forum to fix certain iPod issues, but I'm not sure how it works or what if fixes. Even so, it goes like this: The data on the iPod may be corrupted. To restore, select your iPod in Apple iTunes. Then, click Restore on the Summary tab to restore your iPod to working condition. You know more about the iPod than I do, so you can do with this as you deem appropriate. My theory is that the procedure may fix something to do with recording. Don't give up. Post back on results. -- freddy "Windowpane" wrote: can anyone help me!? or did microsoft just screw me over with a glitchy operating system, i thought vista was supposed to be better then this. please help me fix this microsoft pat "Windowpane" wrote: Hi, I recently got a new rig, 2.4 ghz duel core, 2 gigs of ram, nvidia 8800 GTS, and a PIONEER DVR-212D DVD burner.. the last one is giving me a very annoying problem.
