Well since you mentioned having the Philips 8631, you already have two strikes again you, sad but true. Dell released firmware updates for the drive, which can be found from the Downloads link under the Product Support Tab above.
However a few questions, what type of movie are you trying to put to disc, home, commerical? what steps are you taking to create the disc, copying a disc or making one from scratch?
Best Regards

Predator thanks for the reply, i have a downloaded movie and trying to put to disc, the movie is 93 mins long and the disc is a 4.7GB so it should fit on the disc but keeps saying near the end of transcodeing disc full???????

FYI: At Best DVD quality, a 4.7gb disc will hold 1 hour of video. You are trying to pack 1.5 times that much onto it… DVD Movies are measured in time, and file size a is meaningless unit of measure.
Different software have ways to handle this, all resulting in degraded video quality, but you might want to try with the movie trimmed to 1 hour.
