How do I know if my videos burned to the dvdrw

Hay Csa

I put my dvd+r disk in my dvd writable drive and a message popped up asking
what I wanted to do. I selected "burn files to a disk". It then opened the
window and I dragged and dropped my videos like it said. One at a time, I
dragged them over and each time it made me wait for it to put the videos on.

My question is since it says on the top "Files currently on disk" and shows
my videos, does that mean they burned on there?

I'm used to XP having a button after you drag and drop you press to write
the disk.

Hi,

If you are using the Live File System Format, then they should be copying to
disk immediately.

Insert the disk in another system to see if they are on there.

Some burning software does an immediate write to disk.

Hi,

Go to Help and Support. Type in: "burning to disc". Click on topic: Burn a
CD or DVD. It has lots of info there.

I've burned many music CD's, data CD's and DVD movies to disc using Vista. I
simply test my discs with another computer, CD music player or DVD player.
Never had any problems with burning discs.
