Hp dvd writer 640c

I have a hp dvd 640c burner that has troubling me for some time.I have no problems when burning a dvd, but when I try to burn a data cd or divx file (that is under 700mb) I get a failed to complete burn error . I know that I have tried Sonic, Nero , Windows , and just copying a file to the drive manually and all have failed. Dvds burn fine though.If anybody has a clue it would be great since I have my fill of beer coasters. Thanks Lupin

My Hp 530 laptop Can play DVD discs but it will not burn

first check to be sure you have a dvd writer and not a cd writer-dvd rom combo .., cause in this case it is obvious why its not burning dvd-es..
Another thing take a look and see if you have a dvd burner into your operation system ..Usually windows 7 have a dvd burner and it burns them without any program to assist it .. but if it is defective or you can not operate it .. just download and install a dvd burner .. like Nero .. and try again ..
In the last case try to reinstall the operation system if you have a hunch that it may be something wrong with it .. and if is still not working change the optical unit and will work

Can't burn pass over 78 min on my burner

CDs can only store 800 Mb, which is exactly 78 minutes. If you need to burn more data than that onto a disk then you will need to burn DVDs with a DVD burner.
