I am inclined to agree with LOTR and his advice, however I would say one thing first, which LOTR as already mentioned. Make sure that your burning software can burn DVDs, I feel that you are trying to burn DVDs using software manufactured to burn CDs only. Hence, the error you are getting, your software is looking for a CD burner but, of course, you have a new DVD burner.

I would like to vary LOTRs advice just a little, before you try updating the firmware of your DVD player, which might be a challenge for a novice, try updating your burning software first.

As LOTR said, if you have Nero 5 then upgrade it to version 6.0 or 7.0 as these versions can recognise and burn DVDs whereas version 5.0 cannot.

I cannot advice on Ashampoo as I have never used it and I believe that WMP uses a Nero 5.0 plug-in to burn CDs so it is unlikely to burn DVDs, unless an updated plug-in is available.
