you will have to select that you are burning a DVD otherwise it will automaticaly select CDr. also if you have twin drive on just the one make sure it is a DVD re-writer as some re-writers only burn CDrs but still play DVDs. they dont burn DVDs. when you are selcting to burn a DVD make sure the drive you have selected to burn the file has made the correct alterations. you should see when you begin it will give you the option to select a drive to burn from. you will normaly find that the same drive has two different sub headings, as if there are two drives using the same name e.g mycomputer/E:nero/DVD and mycomputer/E:nero/CDr notice in the example that both drive are E but at the end it actualy states which drive it is specificaly using. so make sure when you burn a DVD you use the one marked DVD otherwise your drive will try to burn the DVD using it CDr burning tool wich is non compatible as the same would be vice versa DVD to CDr so make sure that even though the drives are the same that correct subdrive is selected. you also might not be noticing the wrong drive is selected or the DVD option is as the file directory address maybe be too big and hidden but a box to the right stating ''browse'' should reveal the whole directory address and once shown make sure it does have the DVD and not CDr selected.
Nero can burn both Dvd's and Cd's, I agree with m_13, check you are creating a Dvd, not a cd in Nero, Nero may not be the best soft. out there, but it is the easiest, that's why you'll find since 1998 (I'm ballparking) it comes bundled with your burners.
