Hi, my dvd recorder on my laptop is not burning files in xvid format onto disc. Is this a problem with my dvd or software or is there a special way i should be doing it...or is there some software i should be downloading!

Are you sure the XVid files aren't burning onto the disc? Or, maybe your DvD player does not support that file format, so it isn't playing it.

If your not sure put your burnt disc into your computer drive and check in the appropriate drive (my computer/whatever drive your cd drive is) to see if the file is actually on the disc.
