hi i recently bought memorex dvd+rw blank dvd's and had the intention of burning some videos i downloaded online to the dics. however now when i insert the blank dvd into the drive it doesnt recognize the disc and nothing happens. the first time i tried it, the computer recognized the disc but only as if it was a cd instead of a dvd. i'm pretty sure i have a dvd drive on my computer, which is a windows xp. i went to "hardware", and then "device manager" to look at the drive which is a " HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4040N" i am able to watch dvd's via windows media player and i am also able to burn cd's. when i try to burn a my WMV files onto a dvd it doesnt recognize the blank dvd and keeps telling me to insert blank disc whenever i hit the "burn" button. again i'm sure i have a dvd dirve because i can watch dvd's but i just dont understand why it only seems to recognize the blanks as cd roms instead of dvd's? if anyone knows what i should do here please let me know! thanks guys.
