Got a Sony DRX-500UL today and don't have a clue what I'm doing. I know i've seen DVDs with about 30 episdes of Simpsons etc on them but how do i do it?

If i say to make a VCD, i get an error saying that I can't use a DVD-R. If i want to make a DVD, I can only get 6 episdodes to a disk - all my files are VCD compliant by the way.

I actually converted all the files to DVD standard to at least get the 6 on a disk, but after 2 hours of conversion and data preparation, it crashed 2 mins into writing. Am I cursed?!

I've tried Nero, Ulead DVD movie factory and Sonic My DVD.
