How do i burn videos to DVD-R disks?

Question

I have certain (legal!) TVB series i would like to have burned to a DVD. I have about 20 episodes which total to 4.5GB. Recently i've bought DVD-R disks with 4.7GB. I have a program called express burn (rather than nero.) and a DVD-ROM drive (16x.max.speed). I'm not familiar with computer software. For some reason the computer reads "No disk in DVD drive" even after i have inserted a DVD-R that should be compatible. Much thanks for any general input.

A dvd rom drive only read dvds. It doesn't write to them. You need a dvd-r drive. BTW You can buy dual layer dvd-r's that store 8 gb, but you need a dvd burner capable or burning dual layer dvds
