A file, a MP4 file can be put down onto the DVD just fine. But if you want that to play on a Video DVD player, I'd have to tell a lot more.
I use CDBURNERXP (even on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8.)

Hey guys I really need help with something. I have an ASUS computer and I've checked that my drive can burn either CD's and DVD's. I have some series I wanna put into DVD so I bought these blank ones. I've tried with some programs, including media player which is the first one i tried it with, and also tried putting in some formats of video to check if the problem wasn't the MP4 format but nothing works.
It starts burning and then says there was an error and they couldn't burn it. Nothing works. Strange thing is, one of the first I tried to burn then worked in another computer. It had all the files there.
So I put it in my computer once again. Nothing. It says it's empty. I've been trying to get some help, but nothing works. What could be the problem?
