Windows 10: How to burn a DVD-R or DVD-RW

I have loads of personal home videos that I have downloaded from Apple icloud. I would like to save them to DVD's as gifts for the family. Each time I click on "Burn files" the process cancels. I have looked all over the internet for information but all I find is offers for secondary software programs to download.Any help would be appreciated.

DVD RW Drive E not recognizing formatted Verbatim DVD-R Disc

My DVD RW Drive E does not recognize a formatted Verbatim DVD-R Disc that I am trying to burn.

Any suggestions?

 

DVD-RW Drive

The type of optical disc should not matter. Bits is bits.

What software did you use to burn these to disc?

The situation you describe, sounds like "something" caused your original images to be downsampled/downsized in the process of viewing or sending them to the DVD.

Suggest you do a binary file compare between the original images and the ones on the DVD.

That drive should be fine. It is good for the following:

Read Speed:

24x CD

8x DVD

CD Write Speed:

24x CD-R

16x CD-RW

DVD Write Speed:

8x DVD-R

8x DVD+R

6x DVD-RW

8x DVD+RW

8x DVD-R DL(Dual Layer)

8x DVD+R DL(Dual Layer)

5x DVD-RAM

I noticed in your original post you said formatted DVD-R and assumed it was a typo. You don't format a DVD-R. You just burn it.
