  <title>Problem creating a DVD</title>

  <p>Some types of DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs are not compatible with all burners. Check
  the following to find out if those can be used with your burner.</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Check if your DVD drive accepts DVD+ or DVD- discs; if it is labelled
      with "multi", that usually indicates that it accepts both. Check your disc
      to see if it is the same as the DVD drive.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Check if your disc is dual layer or single layer: some DVD drives can
      not write to a dual layer disc.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>If you are trying to use a DVD-R, check if it has already been written
      to before. If you are using a DVD-RW, try blanking it before you attempt
      to write to it.</p>
    </item>
