I have a Toshiba Qosmio G35-AV600 and I am running Windows Vista Service Pack 1.

The problem I am having is that every time I try to burn a movie to a DVD using Windows DVD Maker I keep getting an error at about 79.1% complete or 81.2% complete. It happens every time I try to burn a movie to DVD no matter the size of the movie. The first couple of times I tried I got the following error:

Burn Error - An Error has occurred in burning to CD/DVD.

The next error message that I can consistently recreate is as follows:

Windows DVD Maker cannot finish burning the project using this disc because an error occurred when writing to disc. Please insert another blank or rewritable disc, then try again.

In Event Viewer it says Vista CDROM Event ID 133 but I have not been able to find out any information on it.

After reading through some of the major forums, it seems that many, many people are having the same problem with Vista but no one seems to know how to fix it. They come up with the conclusion that it must be a video codec conflict but I'm not so sure that is true as I have checked all of my video codecs and there is not any unusual codec installed. It does not appear to be a device conflict either as I have no conflicts.

This same problem occurs not only with Windows DVD Maker but also happens when trying to burn a disc in Windows Movie Maker or Windows Media Player.

Any help or information at all that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Lower the speed of the burner to disk.
Usually when you burn to disk, it will say (depending on the type of disk) 40x, meaning it will or can burn up to this speed, so if you are burning to a dvd at say 12x lower this to 4x, or 2x.
Make sure you do this on a RW (re-writable) disk so as not to waste disks.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.

If it is a Commercial Movie this is exactly what is supposed to happen as M$ has incorporated [b]DRM Digital Rights Management[/b] into Vista to prevent Copyright Theft or Piracy.

So if this is what you are attempting Vista is working exactly as it was designed to do and prevent this from occurring.
