DOH! Apparently lesson learnt the hard way there!

I'm sure I made no such error in my case.

I can only burn about 20 minutes of my camcorder footage (Sony high def hard disc) to my SonyDVD-R disc.  Pardon my stupidity, but could there be a compatibility issue because my camcorder is high def -----i.e., are there high def DVD-R's?

How big is the HD video file?  DVDs hold approx 4GBytes.  I doubt 20 min of HD is going to consume that much space, but that could be an issue.  You'd need a Blue-Ray disk (and drive) to record the same time amount of HD content onto a single disk as with standard def.

Same problem (which is how I found this thread) and same solution.  HP Slimline Desktop refurb purchased November 07.  Started having problems a week ago (Nov 08).  Downloading and installing "new" firmware (Oct 07) seems to have solved the problem, and this is using cheap no-name DVD+R blanks.  I used up too many $$ name-brand DVD's testing the "bad media" theory (although I've experienced it, too, with CDs). 

I used to have this problem too, I got a few suggestions that worked out for me. If your a laptop user like me, then use a good quality brand of blank DVDs. Make sure the disc isn't scratched. And while the DVD is burning keep the Media Player and Movie Maker closed until it's done. And make sure that the video isn't corrupted, like say you downloaded a DivX video, check the info and properties on it before saving it to your computer. Another suggestion, don't burn too much DVD's at once, because you could really fry up the disc reader and then it would'nt be able to read or write DVD's. I should know, I had to return my computer to best buy because it wouldn't function properly since the disc tray was overworked, I was stupid to do it the first time, but now that it's up and working i'm taking precautions with this.

you could just import your videos to your movie maker and publish them out as wmv/avi/mpg files and shorten the size of the video. Cause when you publish a video to your computer it'll have a window giving you options of how big you want your video files to be, so you could just shorten your videos down to like 12mb or 78kb or something like that, depending on how long your video is. The fastest file to publish to is the ntsc avi file.
