I just bought some DVDs from a shop, and I guess they are blank.

From the cmd prompt, I do D: (and if that were to work i'd do DIR). And when I do D: it won't work it says "incorrect function". Which is good that means here that it is blank(And not just blank it's not even accessible). That's from the cmd prompt.

But Windows 7 when I put it in, then this screen shows

enter image description here

If I then choose "Burn files to disc".

Then this screen comes up

enter image description here

And if I choose Next, then this comes up

enter image description here

So, it says "files ready to be written to disc" (so no doubt not yet written to the disk). And has AUDIO_TS, VIDEO_TS desktop.ini and memtest-86.iso

Why on earth memtest86.iso? is that normal for Windows to want to write that by default?!?!

I know what memtest is, it's an ancient program still used, that people run early in the boot process to test RAM. I find it surprising that Windows would want to stick an image file, iso file, onto the CD, along with other folders for a playable DVD.

And as a side note, I also find it strange that Windows wants to write those folders AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS when I haven't provided a video-playable DVD.. like

  • I'm pretty sure its just showing you files you have previously queued up to burn to disk in the past. Commented Feb 14 at 18:21

The VIDEO_TS folder showed an old movie.

It was because of files here(in this appdata windows burn directory), the files showed/show with DIR /A.

in

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Burn

e.g. this file

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Burn\Burn\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.vob

I cleared within that directory and then it was fine
