I think u can identify this problem by checking step by step. At first change ur cd brande. If probelm still
then setup windows.. then try to write.

Reinstall the drive from Safe Mode with the drivers disk present, assuming Windows XP or higher...

download wintv from http://hp.com ....you click support and drivers type in pc model details select model from list and then scroll through driver list ...wintv runs on all pc's and installs all codecs required to play most media cd,dvd,svcd,vcd,mpeg1 and 2,divx etc.
also nero burning rom (suite) has a pretty good resource in it player + the bonus of being able to burn a multitude of media.

The DVD format is VOB. In the Windows Movie Maker you can save movies as DV-AVI, but in order to burn them onto a DVD disc you should convert them into VOB files using burning software (for example- Nero).
