• Answer:

  First, when you ask these questions, you should say what operating system you have and what softtware was used to burn. Vista has two formatting options when burning. One is the Live File System and the other is Mastered. Select the Mastered format if you plan on playing the DVD in other machines. Also, "close the session" when you are done. Burning programs will have settings for this. You would have to check with thier help files.
