I am trying to burn a movie and was getting a message that said 'Medium Not Present' on DVD Decrypter. My question is, is that a problem with the disc? I was trying to use a +R disc.
http://forum.rpc1.org/portal.php Try this link looking for your DVD Burner and update your firmware for that burner. Thats usally the answer. Good luck
OK. I am concerned though because it gave me this message: 'Bad flashing could destroy your drive definitively.' Do I need to worry about this?

If your pc should loss power during flash that is a bad flash or running programs while flashing, just flash and don't do nothing elese you should be fine
Do you have DVD Decrypter ? If so Go to tools to drive to check for firmware updates you will go to a website for your drive and download the update .

Content starts here Introduction Firmware consists of the combination of an EPROM chip installed in the HP DVD Writer with programming information that tells the DVD Writer hardware how to respond to commands issued by software. The DVD Writer firmware can be updated by running a firmware update utility that re-programs the EPROM chip. Firmware upgrades are available for some, but not all DVD Writers. The steps referred to in this document provide a quick way to check the current firmware revision and if a firmware update is currently available. Before Beginning The software included with the DVD Writer must be installed and the DVD Writer connected to the computer before completing the next section. If possible, the computer should also be connected to the Internet. Locating the firmware version of the HP DVD Writer drive 1. Click Start, Programs, Hewlett-Packard, HP DVD and then choose HP DVD to start the HP DVD Writer menu of software selections. 2. The HP MyDrive utility will display information about the HP DVD Writer including the firmware version (see figure 1). HP MyDrive can be accessed via one of the three methods listed below depending on the version installed: * Access HP MyDrive from the main HP DVD Writer opening menu. * Access HP MyDrive from the Support tab. * Access HP MyDrive from the Help tab. Figure 1: HP MyDrive Screen 3. If connected to the Internet, click the Check for firmware update button to automatically check for a firmware update. * If the computer with the HP DVD Writer is not connected to the internet, the latest firmware update can also be downloaded from HP's support web site. Compare the version information reported from the HP MyDrive utility with the latest firmware version available for download. If a firmware update is not posted for the HP DVD Writer, the DVD Writer already has the latest firmware version and no new firmware update is currently available for the drive. 4. If the HP MyDrive utility states a firmware update is available, click the Download latest firmware button and follow the on-screen instructions to update the firmware.

looks like dvd decrpter did not have a update. go to HP web site as I did not all drives have a update YET but could be soon if needed . On AD they always tell to update your firmware it will fix a lot of problems. Anybody on AD have the fifmware for HP DVD Writer 640B ?
It isn't working. It kept giving me a message that it doesn't match. Do you think if I tried using -R discs instead that it would work on those?
Are you using just one drive? are you using the same blank ( it can go bad ) I use Verbatim DVDR - at 4x speed and they work better than any brand that have ever tried
You can use DVD+ or DVD- .When dvd Decrypter says Medium not Present take the movie out then put a blank in your burner to burn.
Run a program called DVD Identifier first and then tell us what is the manufacturer of the blank media and then post the results here and we can help you further. DVD Identifier http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_tools/dvd_identifier.cfm
I clicked the Identify button on the DVD Identifier, but the message that came up said Logical Unit Not Ready under the Additional Information part. Under the part where it said Unique Disc Identifier it all says not available.
