It definitely isn't an older program and it definitely recognizes newer
drives since it works through Windows XP which will certainly recognize
newer drives. There has to be another issue here I just am not sure of what
it is unless you need an updated driver. Even if the drive is new that
doesn't mean there isn't a newer driver available so check the manufacturers
website for that or maybe a firmware upgrade. But regardless you are much
better off saving the movie to your hard drive and then using the DVD
Authoring program to create the DVD or even VCD for you.
