dvd burning

[beckyboo]

I tried to burn a DVD the other day and found that the burner went through the motions and returned a completed successfully message, the DVD was empty.
Cut a long story short, i then tried to burn a CD with the same result. I restored my PC back to a date before I had last burned a CD and now CD burning is ok, but DVD still comes out blank. It is probably about 2 years since I last did DVD burning on this PC.
Any ideas as to what has gone wrong?

Are you trying to copy a dvd or burn one from hard drive? What software are you using?

Nero with the mpeg2 codec.
From hard drive with previously edited video in mpeg2 format

I find the ok message hard to believe (not questioning your statement - just can't see how it could happen) ... as as far as I'm aware the ok is the result of verifying what's on the disc....

the first thing I'd try is another burning prog
http://www.imgburn.com/

if that works
uninstall/reinstall the original one
if not
remove the device from hardware manager
reboot
windows should redetect
install burning software.... see what happens
