I'm having trouble creating a DVD file back up disk. I keep getting messages saying "drive busy" or "insert disk" when in fact there is a disk in my drive. [I do not have a problem creating a CD-R or CD-RW back up disk].

Specifics:
Vista Home Basic
Disk Drive: HT-DT-ST-RW/DVD GCC-T10N ATA Device
Software: NTI CD & DVD Maker 7 (Gold)
DVD Disks: Memorex 4.7GB; 4X

I'm beginning to suspect that Vista Home Basic doesn't support DVDs since I can't play a DVD movie, either. Something to do with MPEG-2 decoder missing.

Any suggestions?

Yes, Home Basic does not have the codec (MPEG2) needed to play or write DVD's. I do not think microsoft has one for it either, but correct me if I am wrong. I think NVIDIA used to offer one for Home Basic.... not sure. Sorry for not being more knowledgeable, but now you at least know that Home Basic does not support DVD's.
