My computer has an internal CD and DVD rewriteable drive, yet when I want to
save the movie to a CD, the error box "a recordable CD drive was not
detected" appears. I've went through the troubleshooting list and have tried
other new blank CD-R and CD-RW as well as DVD-R, and the drive is connected
properly b/c a DVD movie and an audio CD works in the drive. Same error
message still pops up.

Arrgghh!!! What is wrong? =(
 
Have same problem as you and did the same as you to correct, then this
morning with a clearer head noticed that the drive letter to detect the
recordable device was a very small j which is not my drive at all. I am now
trying to find a way to have it recognize the proper drive. I don't know if
this is part of your problem or not but its worth a look, and any help I can
get on how to change to the proper drive would be great. Good luck in
solving your problem.
 
Thanks wojo! I enabled that "Enable CD recording..." option before but
didn't realize that it was an option and not a default setting. It recorded
the movie on a CD but not a DVD. Why is that? Thank you for your help.
Appreciate it!
 
No problem.
I have seen that checkbox get inadvertently unchecked during some program
installations for no reason that I can ascertain. Glad it worked for you.
