dvd burner

Anyone know what possibly could be going on with my dvd player?
I put in a dvd movie and it works fine. I go to burn a movie whether it's with nero or any other burning software I have and it locks up and freezes my computer. Every time, I have a lot of stuff I need to back up on my computer and not having a dvd burner that works is really not helping me at all.
Is this dvd burner junk or can it be saved?


edit: Found my answer pretty much immediately after posting this, somehow under the record option in the properties it was unchecked so I checked it and now I'm going to see if I can burn stuff.

Delete post if you want.

Is the writer in UDMA 4 mode? check this in the device manager under the IDE controller section.

Go to control panel and click on administrative tools then computer management, choose the device manager and then looks for ide controllers right click on the one that has the dvd burner attached ie. primary and then choose properties and check the transfer mode.

ok but it is on DMA mode so thats good although mode 2 is a little slow in transfer speed , what burner is it btw ?

you might try getting a firmware update from the manufacturer or burning at a slower speed.
