Question

im using nero 8 and was t old this would be the best software to use for transfering my films to disc . ive followed the steps and it encodes the film then tells me its burning it to disc, this process takes about 1hour 50mins or so , it then tells me that project was sucessful! Great yes? no! when i remove the disc and then try to play it back its always empty! ive been trying this for 2 weeks now could you advise me as to why this is happening please and or advise me if there is an additional software i should add to nero 8 to rectify this problem
