I believe you need a special program to burn DVD's, since XP doesn't support DVD burning (stupid and outdated, I know).
A great program would be:
CD Burner XP

Hope this helps! :)

Hi,
That's because you have CD burning software, not DVD burning software. Nero has software that will burn all formats.
