Hello, I've been using Nero for years and have never had anything like this. I'm trying to burn data to a DVD, in the past i've used BulkPaq -R Generation 4 which worked fine on my _NEC DVD+-RW ND-6500A (my laptop is a Dell XPS Gen 2 - which came out this year) The pack of DVDs I bought recently are Datawrite Classic -R and I can't burn a single DVD, each time Nero comes back saying could not perform start of disc-at-once illegal disc. The OS is XP Home service 2 Nero ver 6 Can anyone tell me what is going on? Here is the log file it produces - Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.68, size=160016 bytes, created 28/07/2004 16:51:12 Nero version: 6.6.0.1 Recorder: <_NEC DVD+-RW ND-6500A> Version: 202C - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.1 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <_NEC DVD+-RW ND-6500A>Version: 202C - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.1 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : FUJITSU MHT2080AH atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : _NEC DVD+-RW ND-6500A atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : NERO IMAGEDRIVE2 2.26 imagedrv Port 2 ID 0 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === _NEC DVD+-RW ND-6500A D: CDRom0 NERO IMAGEDRIVE2 E: CDRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 74448896 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 511MB (523672kB) Free physical memory: 117MB (120532kB) Memory in use : 76 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Static Write Speed Table: 0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 13.9.2005 ISO compilation 21:30:51 #1 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6165 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : TRUE Multisession : FALSE Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet : TRUE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : TRUE Allow more than 255 characters in path : TRUE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 21:30:51 #2 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 21:30:51 #3 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3286 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 21:30:51 #4 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3117 Turn on Disc-at-once, using DVD media 21:30:51 #5 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 256 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB) Last address to be written: 1078479 (239:39.54, 2106MB) 21:30:51 #6 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 268 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 21:30:51 #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2309 Recorder: _NEC DVD+-RW ND-6500A, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: TTH02 - Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 21:30:51 #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 430 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 21:30:51 #9 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 844 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 () 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 1078480 (1078480) = #1078480/239:39.55 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 1078480 blocks [_NEC DVD+-RW ND-6500A] -------------------------------------------------------------- 21:30:51 #10 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1047 Prepare recorder [_NEC DVD+-RW ND-6500A] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;
