When I try to burn to a DVD, my computer tells me the disc is full. How can I solve this?
My DVD drive reads discs just fine but I can't burn to it. I've double (and triple) checked, and it's definitely a DVD writer (Pioneer) but my computer shows all blank discs as full and won't write to them. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Thank you all for your help. Fast responses, too!
Unfortunately they don't solve this particular problem. The discs are brand new, right out of the package. They're regular Sony DVD+R.
I've checked my DVD burner's specs and it's supposed to be capable of working with them.
Perhaps I should have mentioned that it's a new DVD burner. I can read from it with no problem. Could I have mixed up some wires or something when I installed it?

This happened to me before. I found out that the disc had things already on it. Try to find a "blank cd" so you can burn things on to it. If you need any help just ask.
Hope this helps
Good LUCK

if its a DVD-R or DVD+R it must have information alredy on it and you cannot rewrite over it
you need a blank DVD R or a DVD RW which can be re written over and over
