    Hello..I was wondering if anyone could help answer a question for me. I have been trying to burn some dvd's and I am having so/so luck. I get a burn on the dvd itself and it will play on my laptop, but for some reason when I put it in a normal DVD Player it does not read. In fact the player will say error on disk.

    Is this a dell durner issue? If I buy an external burner will I have better luck? Or is this a safeguard to prevent copyright infringment?
    Thanks..paintlady25

    Have you tried nero express? If yes, then your dvd burner has got a problem.
