The service packs are trying to stop pirating software.

Not very good software. TRY Nero Express and Power DVD

find it hard to believe that this device will burn dvd's as it will only burn cd's you require a dvd writing device to burn and read dvd's data or video with 3rd party software such as nero or nti

Change your DVD recorder. The DVD's have 2 lassers, one red for CD & 1 Lila for DVD, both are sinchronized on the same lens but is diferent lasser. DVD lasser is wrong, dead, do you need other DVD unit.

it's because you are using cd to burn the movies on to and not dvd. your dvd will only read movies from dvd. I know it seems like if you put movies on a cd it should read in a dvd player, but since its not on dvd disk, then it will not play.

Hello Bobby_8,

I'm sorry to hear that you haven't been able to burn using your CD & DVD burners.

You will need to get a burning software for you to be able to burn CD's & DVD's to your heart's desire. I use Nero Startsmart Essentials version 8.

You will need to get a licensed copy though.

Hope that helps.


Yours truly,
Art Pena

Y510 uses the slot loading DVD, right? It's not software problem... that Matsushita DVD drive on Y510 and Y410 are faulty... they work only for a few months then always have trouble burning. I've seen many complaints on Lenovo support forum... I'm having the same problem with my Y410 too... I had to use USB to install Windows 7.

please refer to the burning software recommended by product. you can use also nero 6, 7, & 8. for burning cd's & dvd's.
