If my burning softwares (mulitiple programs) crash and pop up with an error message  "com surrogate has stopped working", what the hell is going on?

I'm positive my burner works, as I can burn data DVD's, but unfortunately they're not compatiblle with my car's DVD player.

+  rep to anyone who has an idea of wtf is going on with my computer?

I'm running a fairly new Dell inspiron with windows vista.

"...with windows vista."

thats the problem.  i dont quite understand it, but everyone i know who has vista had serious problems with it, problems that i never even saw with xp.

its a bummer they couldnt get vista together before they released it.  that said, i really dont know whats wrong with your dvd burner.  if you used a dvd converter to wmv or mov or something of the like, you could easily use that file to burn onto the dvd.  but creating a middle man is certainly a hassle.

good luck, sorry i couldnt be of more help.

I really should get into the habit of checking google first...

My first problem was nero. Not at all compatible with Vista.
