[abbarich]

Is there a free software anyone can recommend to burn some files on to a DVD-R?
Thanks.

Update your post to include system hardware specs and OS information.

Okay I've got a Lenovo Ideapad 100 with Windows 10. It has an inbuilt disc drive that no longer works so I've bought an Origbelie external disc drive. I managed to burn a CD-R using Windows Media but I tried to burn to a DVD-R this time and it says not possible, so I'm wondering if anyone has used a free online software tool that they'd recommend. Thanks.

The Official ImgBurn Website

ImgBurn is a lightweight CD / DVD / HD DVD / Blu-ray burning application that everyone should have in their toolkit... and it's free!

Imgburn is free and runs on anything, it's basically the standard, if that can't write what you want then you are trying to do something that isn't possible.

I'll try that thanks. I did convert a couple of files into MPEGs with AVC converter which are small enough to fit on a 4.7GB DVD-R. I did one before on the disc drive built into my laptop when it was working but now it's not. I just need a new platform to put the files on to so I can burn them. I can probably do this with the AVC software but it's more of a converter and I've read the quality of the burn isn't so good on it. I'll try your advice. Thanks.

Yeah but media center is probably trying to write them as normal dvd format which wouldn't fit.

That explains it. I'll try some of the suggestions later and hopefully it'll work now.
