External DVD Burner Not Recognized

Hi,

I have a new external DVD burner that is connected via FireWire. DVD Architect refuses to recognize this burner. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Thanks,

Jim

Is the burner detected by WinXP, Nero's any other Burning Software?

What model is it?

Yes, XP recognizes the burner (LG GSA-5120D) and I can burn DVDs with other software. What I've done so far is to "Prepare DVD" using DVD Architect and then burn the result using DVDLab.

I can also make DVDs on this drive using Sonic MyDVD. On rare occasions, DVD Architect will recognize the drive, but it either locks up when trying to burn a DVD or makes a coaster..

DVD Architect will not recognize any DVD burner on a motherboard with an nVidia3 chipset - according to Sony Tech Support.

Thanks for the response, but I don't have the nVidia chipset. I'm content to make the movie to disc and then burn with other software until or if an answer comes along.

I recently downloaded a trial version of "ProShow Gold" because of another post in this forum. It recognizes the LG DVD drive with no problem and burns good DVDs.
