are you using windows xp? also, are you using windows explorer to burn dvds? if so, try a 3rd party burning program.

Also, depending on the age of you dvd writer, there are different formats of DVD's. There are dvd-r and dvd+r , please check your dvd writer to see if it is specifically for writing to a dvd-r or a dvd+r or both.
dvd-r disc will not write in a dvd+r drive and vice versa. If your drive can write to both, check your drivers. Also, make sure the disc you are using is new and unwritten.
