    WDM worker 1 month ago, now cant find my DVD burner or Discs that have been inserted

    1 month ago I simply created a DVD with WDM, I put youtube videos that I downloaded on to the disc and had no probs so now I can watch them on my TV. Now I am trying to put some TV Anime episodes that I downloaded onto a dvd disc. But when I press burn, it comes up with a message saying "DVD burner not found". Sometimes it gets to about 13% and then sais "Error, DVD burner not found".
    Sometimes on the add video menu where it sais "DVD burner" then theres a scroll box, it is blank.
    Sometimes it has it their and it sais "DVD burner" "D/:" (Drive D) but when it gets to about 13% or 4% it stops and sais DVD burner not found. If I can't fix this is there anyother way I can put these episodes onto a DVD?

    Also there's another problem, sometimes it finds the DVD burner I THINK so then I press burn but than it sais "this is not a recordable dvd, please insert recordable or rewritable dvd" and I already have a RW dvd disc in their, SEE OPERATION 2, scroll down.

    Similar problem. After creating a few dvds I get the horror message "windows dvd maker has stopped working." Have tried EVERYTHING including reinstalling, system restore, several hour-long calls to India (customer support) NOTHING helps. Then after making several vids in Windows Movie Maker THAT program stopped working too! On a new HP computer running Vista.

    Other video editing and DVD authoring and burning software works. So the prob is in the Windows system. Customer support tells me I would have to send the entire CPU somewhere for service THREE TIMES before HP would consider replacing my unit with one that WORKS!

    I've thrown in the towel. I've surrendered. Screw it. I'll learn to live with a brand new $1200 laptop that doesn't fully function.

    The end.
