    This is a good point, even if you are sure they are blank, it would probably be a good idea to try a different disc and brand. One of my friends had a huge stack of about 50 dvds that someone had sent her, saying they were new. However, even though they were compatible with her dvd drive, none of them worked.

    I actually have an M1330 but i've never tried to burn a DVD! The type of disk used is also important. Isn't there DVD+R and DVD-R? Maybe the disk (Or writer) is the wrong format.
