    while i can write on CDs, i am not able to write on DVDs using the built in dvd-writer (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM). i am pretty sure (though not 100%) that i tested it when i first got the pc and it worked.

    at autoplay, i think i used to get an option like "open folder to write...." now i get that only for CDs, not for DVDs

    DVD works fine in read mode, plays movies oK

    also, i finally decided to try creating a dvd from my handycam using the dvd-creator-3 that came pre-installed. the pc freezes up when i try to load any video files (eg aaaa.wmv); i have to use ctr-alt-del to end the application.

    so...any relationship between the two problems? any suggestions? should i get a new dvd-burning/movie creating SW?
