    Hello.

    I assume you are referring to the WinXP action box that gives you a choice of options when inserting a blank disk.

    WinXP has no native support for burning DVDs. Hence it assumes all blank disks are CDs. The lack of native support for DVD burning is why third party programs are used for burning DVDs.

    Are you sure you have a DVD burner that burns both DVDs and CDs? Could you possibly have purchased a combo drive, one that burns CDs but only reads DVDs?

    There are guides available by clicking the Guides tab at the top of the window and at this site:

    If you're backing up DVDs you own, I would suggest using the free Ripit4me. Guide and links to software are here:

    Some of you may have noticed that I've started closing threads that have titles like "Help Please", "Help Me", "Need Help", etc,... You may be asking yourself exactly what my problem is. You may be thinking I'm being incredibly petty and if I have a problem with the thread titles I can change them myself. Just to make sure there's no confusion about this I'm going to let you know why I'm doing it.

    and read the rules
