Dear Gavin:
Thank you for your inquiry.
First of all, please verify the following before recording any CDs or DVDs
1. Copy a data file (excel file, text file) to the disc. Then read the data file from the disc. If it works, then the DVD writer & enclosure are working properly.
2. Most DVD-Videos are in different formats and are copy protected. Please follow below links for more information.

Normally, if the DVD writer can format a DVDrw disc, then the overall configuration should be working.

Dear Sirs,
I just received my enclosure from Acortec and I have installed my Memorex Dual Format X-1 DVD writer.
The enclosure and drive are recognized (and installed) by Windows XP Pro on my Emachines M6810 notebook.
(Enhanced USB support is enabled with SP1 installed)
I can read CDs and DVDs and actually format disks.
I cannot actually record anything though? (Using Nero6, Roxio DVD Creator or NTI 6)
This appears to be a very common issue with external enclosures and DVD writers (which I was not aware of previously).
What do you recommend trying to get the drive to work?
Regards
Gavin
