How do I burn a DVD on HP a1540n (with MS Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005)? I have a video of a family funeral on a DVD that I want to rip and burn to a new DVD to share with family members. I know how to rip and burn CDs via Windows Media Player, but don't see instructions how to rip and burn DVDs. On the front of the desktop where I insert the disk, is a label that reads: "LightScribe DVD +_Writer/CD Writer. Please advise in simplest terms as possible! Thank you.

check driver on manufactor web sites..

Have you tried playing them in another DVD Playing Software? try something like this: http://www.blazevideo.com/dvd-player/free-dvd-player.html

look at the video drivers, they may be corrupted, right click in my computer,then click manage, click on device manager, expand display adapters and you will see the model of your video card, right click on it and click uninstall, then restart your computer, windows will reinstall the driver automatically, let me know if that worked

Hi There,

Windows Media Center Edition is exactly that; an "Edition" of XP Pro. If you go to My Computer and then click on System Properties, you will likely be comforted to see that you indeed have Windows Media Center Edition 2005.

Regards

Place the disc in your drive. Then reboot your computer. Your computer should then boot from the disc.

Download a free open source burning program like http://infrarecorder.org/... or you can use something like nero for 80$ or a free cracked verision from www.isohunt.com ... A dvd should hold about 5,000 pics
