Windows 10: Dell external dvd will not burn video dvd's.

My dell external DVD will not burn video dvd's. It will burn cd's using itunes but when I attempt to burn a video dvd, it copies it then tells me to put a blank dvd in the external drive. As soon as I do it ejects it and asks again for a blank dvd. I have used several different types of dvd's, - & + r, -& + rw and they all get ejected.


I did work with dell and the external dvd managed to burn a dvd that would only play on my computer. I need it to play on a regular dvd player. I was using roxio Easy cd & dvd burning. I had Roxio on a laptop that had XP and windows 7 and it worked just fine. How do I get the external drive to co-operate???

Burning DVD Video to DVD-R?

I'll suggest an app DVD Shrink. Use it to create a DVD-Video compliant ISO. Then just use Windows 10 to burn it. So you still only need one app. PLUS It will shrink video larger then 4GB back down so it can still fit on a single layer DVD

As name implies, it also shrinks video larger then 4GB (which would otherwise require a Dual Layer DVD and capable burner) back down to fit on a single DVD
> Create a parent folder that contains the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders. Point DVD Shrink to the parent folder
> If larger then 4GB, do "Deep Analysis"
> It will create an ISO image you can then simply burn with Windows 10

I think it can also burn direct but needs Nero. I just create the ISO then burn it myself
