Question

PC not accepting DVD-R

by Jun 30, 2015 12:17PM PDT

I'm using Roxio VHS To DVD3 Plus to capture movie tapes from my VCR. It's working fine placing them into files. Discovered my old Dell PC won't recognize a DVD-R. Which I need it to work to create the disks. And later I want to copy my daughter's DVDs for her, using Roxio Creator NXT3. I have Windows 7, Firefox, or Int. Explorer. Any ideas for helping my PC to accept DVD-Rs?
Help is much appreciated. Thanks.

When this happens I try DVD+R

It's cheaper than a new DVDRW drive.

Also, this Roxio allows a capture to the HDD so you can write it later with what recording app you used in the past.
