What is your burning program?

Who manufacturers your discs?

What is the disc's MID?

Can you post a burning log?

Is your firmware for your burner up to date?

How fast are you burning?

What is the make and model # of your burner? and player?

thanks for the replies maybe I should clarify I was sorta hoping someone could either tell me or show me a guide for the easiest/simpliest way to burn this way not nessasarily figuring out how I did it and fix that because I have tried a ton of different ways and I have alot of program said to use and I couldnt get any of the ways to work.
here the mid :

look at the manufacturer ID: "prodisc". very low-end media. have you tried burning on a quality disc? ie; verbatim, sony, TY etc?

[copyless]

For future refs, your burner is a TS-H552B and the firmware is HP08 which is manufactured by Toshiba/Samsung.

Like the LT. said you probably need to try better media.

Can anyone give me a idea what is the most reasonable good media would be?
Also what the best method for me to burn this file is there a guide ? Really would like to get this burner working. Thanks for the help!

verbatim and taiyo yuden are some of the very best media. as for burning this, want freeware software or does it matter? avi2dvd is freeware. search the autoring and editing forum.
