I am unable to record digital pictures onto DVD-RW or DVD-R disk using a laptop.
When I try to burn pictures from Kodak a message appears telling me that the DVD is full or try to run it at a lower speed. I try to run the DVD at a lower speed but it is still telling me to run it at a lower speed. The DVD cannot be full as it is brand new. The CD-ROM drive occasionally open?s & ejects the disk! However, my pictures are copying ok onto a CD-R disk! Can anyone help?

Sounds weird.
Are you sure you have a DVD-R on your laptop, not only a CD-R? If yes, update drivers, firmware, etc... also your burning program.

Do you have one of those DVD/CD combo drives that will read DVDs but only record CD's?

They are quite common in NB's and that could very well be your problem. It's certainly a weird one if you have a DVD burner as they do tend to work OK.

What OS and recording program are you using?

Did you check whether you have the right type of media for your drive (DVD-R or DVD+R)?

Eventually it can also be a defective media problem. Try to replace it or test your media at with another DVD burner.

Which software are you using? Did you try to replace it?
