I have a DVD RW burner and Nero 8 am i missing something ?

Answer 1

Erase your DVD RW disc, sometimes only full erasing will help you - long time need it

1) If you want make DVD Video disc to watch on PC or standalone DVD player connected to the TV set - use DVD Flick Guide to convert and burn your files to DVD. It is all-in-one tool and free.

2) If you want to store your media file as is, use Data DVD mode in Nero

Answer 2

Sometimes with an RW disc, after the first recording was completed, it does a finalizing thing and  I havenot  figured out how to add more to that DVD other than to erase it and start over with everything.

Answer 3

I'm confused here.

Why are you trying to burn anything to the DVD-ROM ?   The ROM part stands for Read-Only-Memory - you can't write (burn) data to these discs.  Only read from them.

To burn data to a disc, you must use either a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc, and from your question you already burned the movie to one of these, so...what's your question again?
