Hello,

I'm pretty new to Encore (just finished taking courses on how to use it). I'm at the stage where I want to burn my DVD but when I select DVD Disc output on the build screen under Recorder it says "None Found."  I purchased a VicTsing USB Slim Portable CD-RW Drive, DVD-R Combo Burner Player for my laptop.. When I click "Refresh" to from the CD-RW drive it doesn't find it. Is there some hack to get Encore to link up to my CD-RW Drive?

Set your Encore DVD/BluRay output to an ISO file or to a folder on your hard drive https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2150198 and then use the FREE Imgburn to write files or folders or ISO to disc for DVD or BluRay (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)

Read http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1322583 for notes on installing Imgburn WITHOUT any toolbar add-ons... Set Imgburn to use the slowest burn speed your drive and media will use... I set my burn speed to 1x and let Imgburn adjust to the actual minimum

Eh... I went on the Imgburn website but everything on it looks like an advertisement... How do I know which item on there is the Imgburn item you referenced above? I literally spent 45 mins reading the same Imgburn page and everything looks like an add for something else...

See the list of 7 mirror sites on the upper part of the page below the download bar. They look okay to me.

Assume you noted John's link to avoid add-ons during the install.
