I'm trying without luck to burn all my downloads onto DVD so i can save space on me hard drive, but, for some reason when i run the DVD i can see the zip files but when i try and open them i get an error showing some numbers, then i get another error message saying that its an invalid zip????? Thing is all the zips work fine on the hard drive ???

I'm using Nero 6 if it helps.

Thanks in advance

Stiz what is the total size of all the files together? Just you might have taken it to the limit and you can't read it... I know as I did this a while back :-[
I've since moved to Alcohol120 for burning DVD backups as it seems to have less issues than Nero.

The total is about just over 3 gigs so i've got about a gig left on the DVD.

In that case it is probably the DVD that is defective.
