Hi all! New to this, but have been able to backup my DVDs for a while now using TDK blank DVDs and have just bought a new brand (i think ive gone from cheap to cheaper) called Benq. All of a sudden i get illegal burn errors now when i try to backup my DVDs. I need help ASAP!! PS i have no idea how the burn speed got so low.

Every thing appears to be upto date except for nero, you should be at version 6.6.1.4. get it here: http://www.nero.com/nero6/enu/nero-up.php You're absolutely right when you stated that "i think ive gone from cheap to cheaper" Here, nero states the same thing: ******************************************************************** 1:54:42 PM #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2483 Recorder: _NEC DVD+-RW ND-6500A, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: DAXON0 - 16S Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 1:54:42 PM #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 448 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= Insert empty disc to write to.

Have you checked your firmware? The latest firmware for your drive is 424, not 203d (sorry). http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/FIRMWARE/Nec/Nec-ND-6500A-firmware-424.shtml Actually the Nero version he's running is the latest Nero 6 that is still compatable with DVD Shrink. Alot of people are going back to the version 6.6.0.18 because the newer doesn't like shrink.
Is exactly what I was gonna quote, but i answered first a different thread and Johnl got first to it! Is the burner a Dell OEM? If it is,he firmware looks up to date .
