Not Recognizing DVD Burner

[tvslyon]

Video Studio 7

No Burner Found:

Using a Dell GX260
TEAC DVD+RW DV-W58E as slave
Sony CD RW CRX216E as master

Have update the following file as suggested:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ulead Systems\DVD\ULCDRDrv.dll


The Roxio Software recognizes the DVD Burner, but the Ulead VideoStudio 7 software doesnt seem to.


Any Ideas?

In any case, most people in this forum will tell you that burning directly from VS8 is usually not a good idea for several reasons. The accepted practice is to create an ISO file (it's an option on the final burn dialog). Then, at your leisure, you can use your Roxio s/w to easily burn your target DVDs.

IMO, let VS8 do what it's really good at, and let Roxio do what it is good at!

Might I intervene quickly here and say that it is not 'the accepted practice' here to burn an ISO file and burn a DVD later -- though I grant it is certainly an option. What _is_ the widely (though not universally) 'accepted practice' here is to suggest that people go from their edited project to burn a DVD (or VCD/SVCD) compatible file (i.e. an MPEG, not/not an ISO) i.e. Share > Create Video File > DVD/VCD/SVCD. They can later (or immediately) burn that MPEG to its final disc (Share > Create Disc > DVD/VCD/SVCD).

But certainly, if you are going to burn multiple copies of your disc and you want to be sure that everything, including menus, remains exactly the same, then certainly you can produce an .ISO file.
