I’m pasting my reply (with a few minor changes):
“Off the top of my head, my first guess would be you’re inserting DVD-R media in a drive that can only read/burn DVD+R media, but that’s just a guess. You could also be inserting into a CD/DVD-ROM drive, neither of which has burning capabilities.
Go here
http://www.nero.com/enu/support-nero8-tools-utilities.html and download Nero Info Tool (second 'More Details and Download'), and unzip it, insert the offending disc into the drive, and run it. This should tell the characteristics of the drive (what it can read and write), as well as any information on the disc if it can read it at all.
If you have the right type of media with the right type of drive, I don’t know what to suggest.
1. Try different media. Oddly, different brands of media sometimes work better. If you have a multi drive, maybe try +R media.
2. Get a DVD lens cleaning kit
3. Get a firmware update for your drive. Don’t try this unless you really know what you’re doing."

Squishii Guest | I am so tired of these long explanations that never help me. I just want to know how to get the movies that are saved on my computer onto a disk so I can watch them on my t.v. I don’t have any special programs, just Windows Media Player (I already know it wont burn the info) so please can someone help?

lylelwr Guest | I had the same problem. When I tryed to burn the DVD it kicked out the disc, making me think something was wrong with the disc. Turns out I had a movie file that was too large to fit on the DVD. I adjusted the compression from 7000kbps down to 6200kbps and it burned the disc just fine. Depending on your software there should be a drop down box somewhere that lets you adjust the MPEG compression rate. The lower the number the more minutes you can fit on your disc. Hope this helps.
