DVD movies are encoded in MPEG2. This requires a special decoder that are either hardware or software. We make neither. The sellers of your DVD drive should be able to find you a decoder.
We've had a very difficult time getting MPEG2 decoders to work with DVD-RAM drives. The decoder companies often have updates to their software. Please contact them for support.
Early releases of Write DVD! only supported Windows 95. Windows 98's DVD-ROM driver is interferring with Write DVD!, leaving all UDF volumes read-only. The free update on our website supports Windows 98.
First of all, only SCSI hard drives are supported. Then they must be marked as "removable." This is done in the device manager. Select your hard drive and there's a checkbox labelled "removable." Check this and restart. Now it will be given a drive letter and be available in "My Computer."
