Problem burning a DVD

When I try burning .avi files to a dvd using nero express 6, the burning process gets stuck at 1% with current task showing as 'lead in'.
I already lost 3 dvds [IMG]http://www.extrememhz.com/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif[/IMG]

Please somebody help me.

Your problem probbably lies within a driver.
Check in device manager if the label of the dvd burner driver is same as the actual burner.
Also check if the DMA mode is enabled (BIOS settings and Device manager/IDE controller).
Also you can flash a newer version of dvd burner BIOS. Older BIOS versions usualy have some bugs that are discovered after the manufacturers start to sell products. Newer versions are, actually, bug fixes mostly.
