My dvd rewriter has stopped burning my dvds. First it started acted as if it was burning them it even said it was completed but when i go to play the dvd it was blank. Now when i try to burn a warning comes up saying-EXTERNAL EXCEPTION 8000FFFF. Please could you tell me what is happening. My computer is XP.

Although I can't find any references to that error message as it relates to a DVD burner (maybe others can), have you tried uninstalling, then reinstalling the burning software?

Hope this helps.
