Hi everyone,

My friend has burned several DVD discs full of vids for me on his Vista machine using the Vista burning tool/software.

When I try and access the DVD on my XP machine the disc is showing as 'CD Drive' in My Computer and shows 0 Bytes Free Space and 0 Bytes Total Space. He is 100% certain he burned the videos onto them though. And the strange thing is that a couple of the discs are working ok in my machine and play the videos.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how I could access the videos on the DVDs that are showing as having no data on them?

Thanks

Try them on a different PC to check it's not just a bad burns or a incompatible (cheap) disks.

Must be either bad burns, iffy disks or he didn't burn them properly.
