Hi, It appears your burner doesn't have DMA enabled which isn't a good thing since burning a DVD requires the high transfer speeds that DMA provides. This link will show you how to check your DMA settings and change them if needed: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/IDE-DMA.mspx If you still can't get your drive into DMA it may help to uninstall the drive through Device Manager by following these steps, Go to Device Manager > Expand the tree for DVD/CD ROM Drives > Find the drive in question, right click it and go to Properties > Under the Driver tab, select Uninstall then OK. Now reboot and Windows should detect and reinstall the drive. Let us know if this helps
i also see at the bottom of your log you have incd installed which causes burning related problems , you could try to uninstall that software and see if that helps along with switching your drive to dma mode . hope that helps
