First, check your DVD burner is working correctly by opening Device Manager (click Start > Control Panel, select System and Maintenance and click Device Manager). If it is, check the video files themselves are working correctly by playing them in Windows Media Player. Finally, when burning your DVD, click Options on the “Add pictures to the video and DVD page” in Windows DVD Maker and choose Medium or Slow in the “DVD burner speed” box.

I have never had success with the burn-at-once mode on Nero. With it off, you will have to have room on your hard drive for the transcoded files (usually 5 GB if you are burning a full 4.7 GB set of files), but the burn process takes about the same amt. of time. But every time I tried burn-at-once, I got errors.
