My 106 D burner is very consistent ..... it fails no matter how good / bad the media at least once every 2 or 3 discs .....mostly at 70 - 90 %. Sometimes it fails on the lead in (using Nero 6.3) See log file below. Its been like this since day one. Thanks Kev KCM 1A23-0052-4030-1386-3722-1334 1A23-6144-8030-8473-2882-7878 Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.71 (0001), size=45056 bytes, created 14/08/2002 15:03:36 ahead WinASPI: File 'Crogram FilesAhead eroWnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.59, size=160016 bytes, created 10/01/2004 23:38:18 Nero version: 6.3.0.0 Recorder: <PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D>Version: 1.07 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.3.0.0 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2000kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <SONY DVD-ROM DDU1621 >Version: S2.9 - HA 1 TA 1 - 6.3.0.0 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : Maxtor 6Y120L0 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : SONY DVD-ROM DDU1621 atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : AXV CD/DVD-ROM 2.2a sojuscsi Port 2 ID 0 DMA: Off CdRomPeripheral : Generic DVD-ROM 1.0 d344prt Port 3 ID 0 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D D: CDRom5 SONY DVD-ROM DDU1621 E: CDRom7 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: CmdQueuing : 1 CmdNotification: 2 WriteBufferSize: 74448896 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 EraseSpeed : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 511MB (523760kB) Free physical memory: 246MB (252044kB) Memory in use : 51 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Static Write Speed Table: 0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 16.3.2004 UDF/ISO compilation 19:22:11 #1 Phase 112 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1800 DVD-Video files reallocation started 19:22:11 #2 Phase 114 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1800 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 19:22:11 #3 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6029 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : TRUE Multisession : FALSE Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 ISO Level : 2 (Max. of 31 chars) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet :FALSE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : TRUE Allow more than 255 characters in path : TRUE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 19:22:11 #4 Phase 111 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1800 DVD-Video files sorted 19:22:11 #5 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 118 Reader running 19:22:11 #6 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 124 Writer PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D running 19:22:11 #7 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3882 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 19:22:11 #8 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3882 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 19:22:11 #9 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3094 Turn on Disc-at-once, using DVD media 19:22:11 #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 239 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45) Last address to be written: 2162159 (480:28.59) 19:22:11 #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 244 Write in overburning mode: FALSE 19:22:11 #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2068 Recorder: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: RITEKG - 04 Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 19:22:11 #13 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 405 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 19:22:11 #14 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 779 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 (CTransferItem) 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 2162160 (2162160) = #2162160/480:28.60 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 2162160 blocks [PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D] -------------------------------------------------------------- 19:22:11 #15 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 948 Prepare recorder [PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

The 106D is one of the better drives out there. What brand blank media are you using? Looks like you have a media problem but could tell more by the brand. Have you tried more than one brand? Also do not multitask when burning. Shut down any anti virus programs and anything running in the background while burning. The dvd backup process uses most of your system resources so you can't be doing anything else. Jerry
You might also update your Nero 6.3.0.0 to the latest 6.3.0.3. Can you tell us the exact media you've been using?
Media was Ritek printable G04 and that log file failed on the lead-in. Gave some discs from the same spindle to a friend who has the same writer - 106d.. and he is not having any problems at all. Here is my latest fail log which was at 73 % Thanks Kev KCM 1A23-0052-4030-1386-3722-1334 1A23-6144-8030-8473-2882-7878 Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.71 (0001), size=45056 bytes, created 14/08/2002 15:03:36 ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.59, size=160016 bytes, created 10/01/2004 23:38:18 Nero version: 6.3.0.0 Recorder: <PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D>Version: 1.07 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.3.0.0 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2000kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <SONY DVD-ROM DDU1621 >Version: S2.9 - HA 1 TA 1 - 6.3.0.0 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : Maxtor 6Y120L0 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : SONY DVD-ROM DDU1621 atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : AXV CD/DVD-ROM 2.2a sojuscsi Port 2 ID 0 DMA: Off CdRomPeripheral : Generic DVD-ROM 1.0 d344prt Port 3 ID 0 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D D: CDRom5 SONY DVD-ROM DDU1621 E: CDRom7 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: CmdQueuing : 1 CmdNotification: 2 WriteBufferSize: 74448896 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 EraseSpeed : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 511MB (523760kB) Free physical memory: 236MB (242284kB) Memory in use : 53 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Static Write Speed Table: 0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 16.3.2004 UDF/ISO compilation 19:55:49 #1 Phase 112 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1800 DVD-Video files reallocation started 19:55:49 #2 Phase 114 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1800 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 19:55:49 #3 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6029 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : TRUE Multisession : FALSE Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 ISO Level : 2 (Max. of 31 chars) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet :FALSE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : TRUE Allow more than 255 characters in path : TRUE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 19:55:49 #4 Phase 111 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1800 DVD-Video files sorted 19:55:50 #5 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 118 Reader running 19:55:50 #6 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 124 Writer PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D running 19:55:50 #7 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3882 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 19:55:50 #8 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3882 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 19:55:50 #9 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3094 Turn on Disc-at-once, using DVD media 19:55:50 #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 239 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45) Last address to be written: 2162159 (480:28.59) 19:55:50 #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 244 Write in overburning mode: FALSE 19:55:50 #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2068 Recorder: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: RITEKG - 04 Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 19:55:50 #13 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 405 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 19:55:50 #14 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 779 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 (CTransferItem) 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 2162160 (2162160) = #2162160/480:28.60 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 2162160 blocks [PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D] -------------------------------------------------------------- 19:55:50 #15 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 948 Prepare recorder [PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

Just to add - all non XP required functions closed down as well. The 106 is on IDE 2 as master with my Sony DVD-ROM as slave. Thanks Kev
No all files (DVD Rip) are on HDD. Also updated to Nero 6.3.0.6 and re-flashed the firmware (1.07). Still coasting ........!!!
