500895 2006-11-21 07:35:00 I have problems burning DVDs again, actually ive never found a solution.
I need some free DVD+RW burning software that is NOT nero. Nero simply halts burning telling me its an illegal write mode or something of the sort.
Also, anything that will format the DVD properly. Nero halts in this too.


Edit:
And to clarify, i need to backup all kinds of files, if this makes a difference.

Computer setup etc, personally I have not had problems with Nero, but look up DVD Santa, it may help.

Its not that reliable.

If its under warranty take it back and get something better.
