    In short, my problem is that dvd's I burn aren't playable on my Sony DVP-NS400D player. When I insert one of my DVD's from XCopy the unit display reads "No Disk" and displays "Cannot Play This Disk" is displayed on the TV.

    If I run DVDXCopy using the GearWorks drivers I typically make coasters. If I run with Nero drivers the burns run fine and the output is fully readable on both DVD Drives on my Computer - an HP9900 combo drive and my new Sony DRX-500ULX (external USB 2 attached unit). The output DVDs are also readable on my JVC table top.

    Where the plot thickens is that I have recently also installed DVDXCopy Express - when I burn a DVD with that it burns without a hitch, and plays on all systems.

    I have tried a variety of media - DVD-R and DVD+R, Maxell, Sony and a couple "generic" brands. Since output from DVDXCOPY burns and plays I don't think it is a hardware or media issue, but I really don't know.

    So far in my efforts to resolve this I have upgraded system BIOS, Sony DRX-500ULX firmware, applied all the latest drivers from ASUS, Intel, Microsoft, et al. I've installed all available OS upgrades from Microsoft, installed the latest version of Nero - 5.5.10.28 and have uninstalled and reinstalled DVDXCOPY 1.5.2.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for what to try next?

    As for overall system specs -
    Asus PB435 w/Intel 1.8G
    Windows 200 Professional - SP3
    Dual Maxtor 80Gig Drives
    HP CD-Writer_9900j
    Sony DVD RW DRX-500ULX
    Toshiba CD-Rom XM-6302B
    Matrox Millenium G550

    I am having a similar problem. When I use the GearWorks driver, all burns using DvDXcopy are successful. When using the Nero external driver with DvDXcopy, nothing but coasters result. Can anyone help? Anyone seen this problem?
