Have you tried to write with a small amount of Data to a disk to test with?

What is the total amount of Data that you are attempting to write to the DVD most software will not allow you to burn more that what the disk can handle.

 

Have you tried burning through windows?

What software are you using to burn to the disk?

Does it display any error message if so what?

Has the software ever worked using the disk and have you tried using different disk?

How old is the DVD drive?

If you have a head cleaner use it there may be a film on the lens that may be preventing it from writing.

 

Do you have any re-writable CD and or DVD? When I am testing different setting to burn disk I use them so I can erase the disk and try different things. This way I am not wasting to many write once disk.

 

To use Windows 10 to burn disk (Not as easy as using software)

Open File Manager and locate the files you wish to select to Burn to the Disk

Select the file and Right click and Hover over Send To

From there select the DVD drive and the following screen may come up if it does then

Title the disk if you want to and I usually select the CD/DVD option.

 

 

Then Next.

Now if you have more files to select then all you have to do is Select the file and or files

Then Select the file and right click and Hover over Send To

From there select the DVD drive and the following screen may come up if it does then

The Burn a Disk should no longer pop up.

Once done selecting files Select the DVD Drive

Make sure that all the files are there.

From the top menu bar select Finish Burning.
